[BUG] - Descend meatball does not update until waypoint is reached #433

Closed sersanchez closed 9 months ago

Describe the bug

The meatball commanding the descend does not update continuosly

Steps to reproduce

Start a descend. The meatball starts in the middle as expected, but as the plane descends, the meatball starts going up as if you needed to stop the descent, but when you reach the next waypoint, the meatball jumps to the bottom of the line, commanding you to drop the plane like a rock.

I tried using the profile descend and that seems to work, but is confusing if you are trying to monitor to reach the next waypoint as scheduled in the Flight Plan

Expected behaviour

The meatball should stay in the center of the descend line as you pass through all waypoints and update as you descend and get closer to the waypoint, giving you clues as if you need a steeper descend or need to use drag.
