You would think a guy named Legendsy would check the Legend.

It’s literally a software plug-in, hence the “plug” icon. The only issue is that not all addons display this icon. I believe it comes from a line in the manifest.json, but I haven’t bothered to dig deep.

I just recently subscribed to Navigraph and have seen many many airports now have that symbol next to them. They are just the stock airports, I haven’t done any mods to them.

As the legend shows, it stands for Third Party Content. In this case, I guess Navigraph is the Third Party and the Content they’re providing is behind-the-scenes data.

By the way, I’m really loving the features and functionality that Navigraph provides. Very very cool!

Now dont let these fellars fool you, that plug means you can now charge your electric plane there, no more landing on the street, and asking a resident if you can plug you plane into their house for a quick charge.

Yes, this is a known issue. And there is a workaround. You have to manually change a line in a .json file. It is already covered here on the forum.
Navigraph and MSFS World map - All airports marked as 3rd party - Third Party Addon Discussion / Tools & Utilities - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

You will find the manifest.json file in C:\Users\Goose\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\navigraph-navdata
After that all stock airport are again not marked as third party content…

And of course back to asking a resident for plugging in your electric plane😉

Thank you very much! Greatly appreciated!

[ShierLattice199]

You are most welcome😀
And do not forget, with every navdata update (Navigraph’s), this gets reset

Those are airports that have IPhone chargers available.
