Are VNAV descents using Autopilot available with this software?

After several hours of testing with both VC and standalone setups have not been able to fly a VNAV descent using the autopilot to follow a profile.  Comfortable with the process from simulator and RL experience, but noticed that after engaging VNAV to follow a profile ... do not see a change to VPATH and aircraft does not descend.

Enjoying the software otherwise and appreciate clarification on this question.

Thank you!
Hello,

Thank you for your feature request. Unfortunately as it is now, the MSFS engine and SDK do not allow for a proper and correct VNAV integration, we hear that this is work in progress, so our VNAV descend feature will not be available until we get proper support. The same answer applies to the VPATH indicator variable. Sorry that this is not the response that you want.
