In reply to Jim Elder. Click on "Standard" then "Viewpoint", then look in section labelled "Map"

Where do we find these settings in Plane Maker?

Hello,

Is it possible to turn off the annoying helipad lights that keeps flashing when flying (specially at night) over populated cities with fixed wing aircraft?

Quite possibly – if you didn’t see the acknowledge page it’s very likely something went wrong. The most likely thing is the attachments were too big – if you have drop box hosting or some other online drive, a link might be better than attaching everything.

On “per-airport basis”: Could the runways (helipads) use different colors for the “unsuitable” items in the map (GPS, FMS,etc.), maybe?

I tried to post a bug regarding a big change in throttle sensitivity in legacy aircraft with Rotax engines that occurs from XP10.51 to XP 11.xx. I sent it with an example AC for testing. The submission seemed the same as many filings before, but I received no accept notice, and the submission form was reset to blank after an apparent upload.
Does this constitute the usual indication of a rejection? I spent some considerable effort that was lost in the attempt.

In reply to Philipp Münzel. I didn't see the word "out" in filter out. I read that it will view that entered specs. I usually use the word exclude instead of filter out. Sorry… I was tired…

In reply to Christer Hellholm. No, it means exactly that: The minimum runway length required for this aircraft so it can take off or land there. Anything that is shorter than the minimum distance required will be filtered out and not shown, neither on the moving map, nor in the nearest airports list.

Minimum Runway Length to Show on Map – This will filter out airports where the longest runway is shorter than this distance

I guess you mean the opposite:
Minimum Runway Length to Show on Map – This will filter out airports where the shortest runway is equal or longer than this distance.

Maximum Runway Length to Show on Map – This will filter out airports where the longest runway is equal or shorter than this distance.
