What has happened to the notam info on aerodromes?
I am certain in the past when you hovered over the airfield you got all the aerodrome Notams
‌The airfield notam comes up in the box tab on the right, but it means you have to plot a route 
So right now, if you hover over Luton or Southend you get an obstacle notam, but if you hover over Damyns Hall you get no Notams. But if you plot a route there, in the tab box you get airfield closed due to festival
Now I got caught out by this when plotting a route earlier in the year, but only hovered over the alternatives, as can't plot a route to all the alternatives! And one of my alternates was notamed closed!  (which didn't come up in route or hover, only in the tab box for a direct route destination, and yes was within the narrow route briefing)
Have I missed a setting that shows all aerodrome notams‌ when you hover?  (better still if you can filter)

‌Many thanks
Glen ‌‌ ‌‌‌

We include aerodrome NOTAM for your takeoff, destination and planned alternate.

I‌‌f you wish to view NOTAM for any other aerodrome, you can do so at any time from the Airfields tab. You don't need a route planned to look at the NOTAM for an aerodrome.


Hi Tim thanks for your reply
But appears you can only set one alternate?  It comes up with a yellow dotted line.
‌When you set another the first disappears, along with the Notam and airfield information, so I would have to create a new set of pilots notes for each alternate rather than combined in one route.

Also the obstacle notams that come up when you hover over an airfield seems unreliable at different scales.
Just looked at Southend. When zoomed out, it comes up with none, midrange it varies between 2 or 3 and when zoomed in , it can be none, or up to 3.‌‌

I  have just tried as you suggested above with and without a route and put in 2 airfields (using Add in the airfield tab) Biggin and Southend, and no notams appeared‌, even though we know there are some, so still can't find an obvious way of displaying several airfield notams that are not departure, destination or 1 alternate.   
This is not a criticism, just a user from the coalface, where it could be easier or potentially better. Just trying not to be caught out.
Best wishes
