Is approach VNAV modeled in the MJC Q400? I am able to get enroute VNAV working but when activating an enabled approach (RNAV or overlay) it does not seem to give me Baro VNAV which should be in FMS database for an ''enabled'' approach. Maybe in a future update?

Go to the ressource page of the majestic site http://majesticsoftware.com/mjc8q400/downloads.htm in the tutorial section get the detailled tutorial, it explains the vnav nicely

A very well written tutorial! It includes the enroute VNAV but what I am talking about is approach VNAV which in the RW is loaded with an activated approach and will follow a pre set flight path angle specific for the approach, it should automatically show the crossing altitudes at every point on the approach to follow the correct FPA, usually 3 degrees, but can vary.

i don't think the Q400 FMS is capable of such a thing but i can be wrong (i'm no expert)
