I just realized that both Montpellier fields miss their name and identification ... strange as small fields all have their names. Really not important for me as I am based in LFNG... The name and identifier appear when the pointer touches the symbol.
Same problem on the Ipad.

We don't pick and choose which airfields get their labels displayed on the map, it's an automatic process. If you choose both name and identifier you must accept there is a higher chance of there not being enough space to show the label. That is what is happening here. Zoom in, and you'll probably see them appear.

Thanks for the answer, it is true, at a 100.000 scale they appear. But even at 500.000 the names of Heliports appear and not the one of the International Airport. Is there a way to to make disappear the Heliports? It will leave space for airfields. I could not find this option in the documentation, but for sure it exists.

Tim, I wonder if there isn't some improvement waiting to be made in the decluttering algorithm when deciding which names/ID to show. If you prioritize airports according to the lengths of their longest runways you could start drawing names/IDs starting with the highest priority airports. This would make sure that some small microlight airfield doesn't obscure the name of a bigger airport close by.

Mapping>Map Layers then under the heading Airfields untick Heliports

Thanks a lot, but I found it in "mapping - waypoints - show aerodromes".

I think we actually tweaked this in the forthcoming release so that heliports are less "important" (in terms of labelling) than airports.
If it still leaves something to be desired, we can do even more in the future I'm sure.
