I updated to this version about 2 weeks ago and received an email yesterday announcing it. In the email it talks about the advanced NRST function. It shows the color coding for the various airports. The color telling if you can make it. I looked at the NRST function during my last flight and they all looks light blue. How do I get the color coding for each field. .....I am trying to remember how close I was to other airports. I don't remember how far I was but I was at 7.500 feet so I must have been able to glide to it.

Did I answer my own question?

It will show light blue if you are not in "Flight Phase". You can put it into Simulation Mode and get some speed (greater than 35kts and Altitude, then Touch NRST and the Red Triangle. You should see them turn Red. As you fly over or near airports, those will turn Yellow and Green, depending on your glide ratio. Be sure to set the Glide Ratio in your aircraft profile.

If you are on the ground or not moving fast enough to trigger Flight Mode, there is no Glide Guidance. Hopefully this helps.
