When selecting a wp you get relevant info on top right corner.

I understand the format as

Bearing / range

Time on target

Waypoint name

Fuel remaining on target

And some mystery number

 

My question is, what is the mystery number?

It’s usually two digit < 20

I can’t correlate it with any other info from waypoint subpage or FPAS

 

Also noticed FPAS fuel remaining and wp fuel remaining on target don’t agree

Distance from the waypoint to begin your descent, I'm not sure it's working as intended i.e. it should be linked to Weight, DI and Altitude but IIRC, in DCS it also changes when you get closer to the Waypoint.

 

I'm not sure if FPAS uses a Normal or Max Range descent profile.

 

A Normal descent is : Speed Brake IN, Throttle IDLE and Speed the lesser of 0.85M/250 kts

 

IIRC starting a 35,000 ft descent at 50 NM from a waypoint works out pretty close.
