EDM LOP Leaning is wrong (still)

Referreing to my post in the Baron thread, also valid for the Bonanza as well.

Here is how the EDM looks like for LOP leaning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8-xl44aljc- Lean => pillars rise from bottom to top until
- EDM finds LEANEST => picture then switches and the pillars build from top to bottom
- EDM finds RICHEST => Delta (lower left) is set to 0 at this point, and you keep leaning until 20-30° LOP.
Currently, selecting LOP, the EDM omits step 1 and 2 and starts with 3. Also, when finding the RICHEST, the Delta in the lower left immediately shows around -20. It set be to zero at the temp when the richest was found.
ROP:
Works quite well, but also here: When LEANEST is announced, the Delta is at approx -25 or so. It set be to zero at the temp when the leanest was found, so you can set it to -50 and for ROP ops. -

Seeing as I just finished implementing the new fuel flow across my entire fleet, I suppose the day has come.
I thought this was going to be relatively easy, but unfortunately, I quickly discovered why I didn't implement this the first time around. It's a very long story, affecting so many systems. I've been working on this literally all day since your message, but this is going to be a multi-day project. I'll let you know where it ends up, but right now, I'm confident that it will be much better, albeit not perfect.
