808: VORs are now RNAV Compatible

Thanks to Bryan in the US, the long-missed vertical guidance on my Multi-Shared VOR1 and VOR2 FIP Gauges under RNAV approach has been implemented finally.

The codes of the two FIP gauges were nearly rewritten. In addition, layouts and appearances of the gauges were revised accordingly to the recent MSFS sim update.

Furthermore, as the NAV/GPS toggling of the VOR2 on the C172 Classic is now independent from the VOR1, an extra NAV-only VOR2 is therefore included.

This is done so because there is no such FS command that can individually toggle the NAV/GPS function on the VOR2 only.

As such, users can make use of the up/down button on the FIP to select the NAV mode or GPS mode of the VOR2 as needed without affecting the VOR1 or vice versa.

Truly this button handling method is not as authentic as pressing the CDI button on the GNS430 in the virtual cockpit. But it is by far the best alternative I can think of while there is not a dedicated command that can simply toggle the NAV/GPS mode on the VOR2 only.

Similar changes will be scheduled to my other VOR gauges and the Generic G5 PFD and HSI as long as the feature is supported.  But it may take some time.

In addition, the update will be inclusive to MSFS and XP FIP gauges only as my system has already removed FSX/P3D permanently long time ago.

Download links for the updated Multi-Shared VOR1 and VOR2 have been sent to all users already. If you have not received it, please check your spam folder first.

Lastly, thank you Bryan for all the help.
