Hello,
Since the latest PlanG version is running on my PC, a special mark is diplayed in front of my plane.
I carefully read the manual but do not find any relation about it.
Could you please explain how to manage it and what it is used for?
Should it be described in the user's manual, please just tell me where.
Thanks and regards.

That's the Planned Altitude display. It's mentioned in the readme. Activate it with the "ALT" button on the main ribbon. Declare your climb-to altitude, descend-to altitude and descent rate (descent profile) in the boxes. In climb, the T-bar shows your projected position at the climb altitude. In level flight it shows the descent profile (useful for glide range, or seeing top of descent etc) The button and boxes have tooltips to explain their operation.

It'll be in the next edition of the manual, but that usually lags behind the software a little.
