Another undocumented 'Feature' or Bug?
The XP11 Default GPS & FMS only list Land Airports i.e. only those that have a Land airport header (ROW =1).
It will not list any airport with a Row 17 = Heliport header , or a Row 16 = Seaplane base header.
-----Steps to re-create----
Position aircraft at KDBL eg the default S-76C, load aircarft engines running, select the POP-up GPS, try and enter direct flight KBDL to MA51 a valid [H] Rixhies Helipad that is listed as a Location in X-Plane Flight Configuration. You will not be able to select MA51 in the GPS.
To test my theory that only Land Airports can be used with the GPS, I edit the entry for MA51 in the \Resources\default scenery\default apt dat\Earth nav data\apt.dat. If I change the airport header from a ROW17 (Heliport header) to a ROW1 (Land airport header), and save the change. Then re-start XP11, I can now select MA51 in the GPS.
This depends on how the plane is set up in PlaneMaker. There's a box to list solid runways only. This needs to be unchecked for the airplane to see non-paved runways.
Hi Philipp, maybe LR could check all their other default aircraft?, as I have only tired both the default C-172 Amphibian and the default S-76C Helo and they had the problem.

If I load the default C-172 Amphibian at KRNT,and try and select a flight to land at W36 The [S] Seaplane water strip (https://skyvector.com/airport/W36/Will-Rogers-Wiley-Post-Memorial-Seaplane%20Base) You can't select it in the GPS.
