FYI I took off from denver, so 5000-6000 feet higher than sea-level, maybe VNAV calculated based on relative altitude of takeoff thus flat areas such as BOS is off?

The magenta line and magenta vertical profile are computed by the Aerofly route which does not consider any of the values that you enter into the FMC. The FMS inside the aircraft knows more about the aircraft such as the actual speed of the plane, the cost index, the glide ratio of the aircraft, your manually entered cruise altitude etc. and then computes the VNAV profile from it. Unfortunately the route is not part of the code that I get to change, otherwise I would have fixed this a long time ago. We will have to wait for the developer of the route to fix this, sorry.
