Forgot to post the changelog:

Working Title G3000 v0.7.2

Release Highlights

• Added support for advisory VNAV guidance. The FMS can now calculate VNAV descent profiles and provide information on top of descent, bottom of descent, required vertical speed, and vertical path deviation. The autopilot still does not support V PATH mode.
• Enabled entry of custom VNAV altitude restrictions for approach legs in the active flight plan.
• Added measurement unit options (gallons, liters, pounds, kilograms) for fuel display fields. (Note that these do not apply to EICAS).
• Fixed a bug that prevented editing of the active flight plan under certain circumstances (specifically if you start a flight from the world map after you select a procedure, then delete the origin/destination tied to that procedure without first removing the procedure).

Fixes

• [FPLN] Fixed a bug that prevented editing of the active flight plan under certain circumstances.
• [PFD] Autopilot display now correctly shows ALTS armed indication while in PITCH mode.
• [NavMap] Flight Plan Text Inset now displays cumulative ETE instead of leg ETE when CUM mode is selected.

  - For VNAV guidance to be issued, the following conditions must be met:
    - VNAV is enabled via the GTC VNAV Profile page (MFD Home -> Flight Plan -> VNAV).
    - A Direct-To with VNAV altitude restriction is active, OR the active flight plan contains at least one designated VNAV altitude restriction at or after the current active leg (designated altitude restrictions are displayed in cyan in the GTC Active Flight Plan page and the Navigation Map Flight Plan Text Inset).
    - The currently active VNAV altitude restriction defines a descent path.
  - You may now activate VNAV Direct-To's (not to be confused with a Direct-To with VNAV altitude restriction). Activating a VNAV Direct-To will place the TOD of the selected VNAV waypoint at the airplane's current position. In addition, if the selected VNAV waypoint is in the active flight plan, all VNAV altitude restrictions in the flight plan prior to it are removed (effectively bypassing all altitude restrictions between the airplane's current position and the selected VNAV waypoint).
    - To activate a VNAV Direct-To for the currently active VNAV waypoint, press the VNAV Direct-To button in the GTC VNAV Profile Page (MFD Home -> Flight Plan -> VNAV).
    - To activate a VNAV Direct-To targeting a designated VNAV restriction in the active flight plan, use the GTC to navigate to the Active Flight Plan page (MFD Home -> Flight Plan -> (\[optional\] -> Standby Flight Plan)), press the VNAV Altitude button for the desired restriction, and press the VNAV Direct-To button in the VNAV Altitude keypad pop-up.
  - VNAV indications include the following:
    - PFD
      - The navigation status box will flash a "TOD within 1 minute" warning when the system calculates the top of descent will be reached in less than or equal to 1 minute.
      - The altimeter will begin to display the currently active VNAV altitude, vertical deviation indicator (VDI), and required vertical speed in conjunction with the "TOD within 1 minute warning".
    - MFD
      - The navigation map will display TOD and BOD markers at their calculated position along the flight path.
      - The flight plan text inset will display various VNAV parameters. (only visible when the MFD is in Full pane mode)
    - GTC
      - The VNAV Profile page will display various VNAV parameters.

Here's a quick screenie from one of our QA team showing the vdev indicator, the vnav profile on the MFD and the vnav target altitudes in the flight plan:

Wow. For only a point update that's a heck of a changelog. The best keeps on  getting better! Thanks to WT!
