Can I add that the airport selection field and the gate selection field should be next to each other.

Hello,

In v5, the individual search fields were combined.

With the new search bar in the upper right of the Airport screen, you should be able to search by ICAO, airport name, location, etc.

What functionality are you missing?

Kayla, it's not really the search functionality that's missing. It''s just that in v4 when you selected Change Airport from the scenario screen, the ICAO textbox was already activated and you could just start typing. This was added when v4.0 HF1 was released:
Prepar3D v4.0 Hotfix 1
Client Fixes and Improvements
  • Changed the default textbox to ICAO for the Select Airport user interface
Even though it only saves a mouse click, it would be nice to have it back in v5.
