Version 1.1 (November 13th 2024)
New features:

- FMGS improvement package:
. Added possibility to use Airport ICAO codes as waypoints
. Bug fixes for the path computation leading to an overall much stabler path computation in complex procedures.
. Empty flight plan shows as PPOS / Discon rather than just "End of flpn" and can be built up from there.
. VIA selection is now automatic, if there is exactly one VIA that matches the selected FINAL and STAR.
. Constraints of first waypoint in STAR are not dropped anymore.
- New failure modes:
. Slow and rapid decompression
. THS jam.
