Eliminated erroneous cabin pressure alarms (will need to be remodeled later)

Direct To Page

Adjusted waypoint listing to show origin, departure, enroute, arrival and first approach fix
Added proper handling for activating a direct to the IAF in an approach without causing the plane to fly back to a prior fix and auto activating the approach from present position.
Added EXEC/CANCEL MOD logic to replace 'Activate' logic

LEGS Page

Fixed errors in display of flight plan waypoints
Added approach waypoints to legs listing

IDX / INIT REF Index Page

Status Page - shows database, time, date
GNSS Pos Page - shows current GPS Lat/Lon, date, time
PROG Page 1 - shows last, current, next and destination waypoints, distance in flight plan from current location and ETE
PROG Page 2 - shows current wind, headwind component, tailwind component, ISA DEV, flight plan cross track deviation and TAS
Database Initial Page now allows selecting waypoint from database
Database Airport Page now displays base data for any selected airport
Arrival Data Page now displays the selected approach airport, runway, runway elevation, approach type, approach name, frequency and approach course.

PERF / PERF INIT

Added Main Menu
Added Perf Init Page to set/read weight, fuel and cruise altitude
Added Takeoff Ref page 1 with working calculator for takeoff data for the selected departure runway, including wind, pressure altitude, runway condition, runway length
Added Takeoff Ref page 2 with calculated V speeds and calculated takeoff distance, including selectors for Flaps and Anti Ice state. Vspeeds can be sent to PFD and appear in magenta color when set by FMC.
Added Fuel Management page 1 calculating fuel remaining, displaying fuel flow, allowing setting of reserve fuel, showing endurance, range and endurance to reserve fuel and specific range.
Added Fuel Management page 2 showing fuel flow in each engine and fuel burned, with added 'reset initial fuel' button
Added Approach Ref page 1 with destination details, runway details and landing performance calculator, including headwind/crosswind components, runway condition, pressure altitude and temperature variables.
Added Approach Ref page 2 with calculated Vref and Vapp speeds and calculated landing field requirements and landing field available length. Vspeeds can be sent to PFD and appear in magenta color when set by FMC.

Known Issues

You cannot currently select Direct-To of a fix on your approach that is not the initial approach fix. This is a limitation of the sim flightplan system at present. We are investigating solutions to this issue.
After using Direct-To, the navigation will not always automatically sequence to the next fix and may enter ROL mode. You can re-activate NAV to navigate to the next fix if you encounter this issue.
There are cosmetic issues regarding the PFD and MFD (shapes, text, alignments). The PFD and MFD have not gotten a full layout overhaul as of this time.
The aircraft is still using the built-in MSFS autopilot (for now). All the existing limitations of that still apply. It does behave a bit better with the engine performance changes.
