The PROFILE softkey was dead. Now it overlays a vertical profile at the bottom of
the MFD map: own aircraft at the left, upcoming waypoints with their target
altitudes, the magenta planned descent path, and an altitude grid — pure geometry
from the active flight plan + current altitude.

D — NRST page: each nearest entry can now load its tower/CTAF into COM1 standby
(→COM) or a VOR into NAV1 standby (→NAV), and fly Direct-To it (D→). Nearest now
takes xp; com/nav standby datarefs made writable.
C — Direct-To with VNAV descent: the DTO dialog's ALT (MSL/AGL) and OFFSET fields
are now editable; entering an altitude makes the target a designated VNAV fix
(alt+dsgn) and arms VNAV, so the descent profile + PFD chevrons compute.
B — VNAV control: shared vnav config (enabled/fpa/offsetNm) threaded to PFD +
FplPage. The CURRENT VNV PROFILE panel gains ENBL/CNCL VNV, FPA ±, along-track
ATK ± and VNV-D→ keys; the profile + PFD chevrons honour the chosen FPA/offset
and hide when cancelled.

A — Fuel totalizer (SYSTEM key, renamed from ENGINE): DEC/INC/RST FUEL had no
handler. Now adjust the fuel_totalizer_sum_kg dataref (±1 gal, RST→max fuel) and
the EIS shows the calculated remaining/used. cdiSrc-style writable + demo echo.
E — AIRWAYS: was a single on/off. earth_awy.dat field 8 (airway layer) is now
parsed (1=Victor/low, 2=Jet/high; name-prefix fallback), the bbox returns it, and
the AIRWAYS softkey cycles off→all→Victor→Jet with an AIRWY-LO/-HI label.
F — CURRENT VNV PROFILE now shows TIME TO BOD (bottom of descent) once past the
top of descent, instead of only TIME TO TOD.

- electrical readout now shows M (main) and E (essential) bus volts from
bus_volts[0]/[1], M (alternator generator_amps) and S (battery_amps) separately,
and ENG hours from flight time — replacing the hardcoded duplicate volts / +0.0
amps / 0.0 HRS placeholders (manual S.54 C172 layout)

Aligned to the official X-Plane 1000 manual:
- NAV radio: active RIGHT / standby LEFT (boxed) per S.12 (COM already correct)
- ALT UNIT softkey (IN / HPA) in the PFD submenu, baro readout converts (S.20)
- DCLTR cycles 3 levels (land / +NDB / flight-plan only) with DCLTR-n label (S.56)
- TOPO and TERRAIN are now independent toggles (relief vs awareness overlay) (S.57)
- Barometric MINIMUMS: BARO MIN bug + readout on the altimeter, amber "MINIMUMS"
annunciation at/below the decision altitude; set via TMR/REF (lifted to App)
- OBS mode: HSI course follows the CRS knob (magenta "OBS"), sequencing suspended
- New Audio Panel tab (COM mic/receive, MKR/DME/ADF, intercom, Display Backup) (S.91)
