When this is selected, the instrument plates are displayed but I notams ( which affect instrument plates) are not displayed unless ifr or mixed is selected in flight rules (as I have just discovered, thought I was checking notams pre flight, but the important ones were excluded in the notams tab!) , vfr being the fixed default.

I think this is inconsistent as anyone who selects “show ifr features” would want I notams displayed along with instrument plates( which of course may be affected by I notams)

Can I notams be displayed in notams tab with the above selected irrespective of flight rules please?

No. I personally like to have the 5-letter IFR waypoint designator shown to me in SkyDemon, it has come in handy a few times when talking on the radio ("we're x miles south of town X!" - "Where is that?" - "3 miles east of ABCDE").
