Digital icao ixeg 737 does not see them in fmc

Greetings Friends! Faced a problem. There is an airport with digital icao ixeg 737 does not see them in fmc, let's say "07FA" Although it is registered in the database, I use new nav bases

The regular FMS of the 737 (and most airliners) will not find small airports or show them if the runway is below a certain dimension.

For the IXEG 737 we relaxed this a little and also read the information for the default airports - but if there is a new airport added to X-Plane (or a new navdatabase) then the IXEG 737 will not see the small airports in that database.

Thank you very much! That's just the point, the airport in the database goes and if in the icao code there is a digit xieg 737 does not see it

Yes, the original FMC only accepts "4 characters" as DEST (or ORIG) entry...so I guess this limits what we can realistically do.

You can always navigate to your smallish airport by making a conditional waypoint in the FMS (radial/distance from a known waypoint or by entering geographical coordinates) to help you find it.
