Navigraph installs should now be correctly processed, and we've quashed more of those 'missing names' issues (hopefully that's all of them...)

Addons Manager: Plan-G generally notices your addon airports while building its database, and colours them yellow. But with MSFS, a lot of them are getting missed. This is because MSFS now splits airports across multiple bgl files, and a lot of addons don't include a copy of the afcad. So Plan-G can't identify them (there is a sort of naming convention, but so far there's been little sign of addon makers following it). This dialog lets you type in the ICAO codes of airports that got missed, so they can be correctly coloured yellow.

There's also an ImportantAddons list. Back when Orbx started releasing region packs for FSX and P3D, they updated and improved airports by their hundreds. Entire regions were covered in yellow airfields, and you couldn't see the wood for the trees. So the important addons list was created, to use double size icons for your really special airports. Until now it's been left to the user to create the file by hand, but now setting up these lists should be much easier.
