Aircrafts photo download - stopped working?

[RodBearden]

If RadarBox is to be the best Virtual Radar, it MUST tie in with the best photo provider, and there's no question that Airliners.net is the best.

The Planespotters site has some plus points, but they are completely outweighed by the range and quality of Airliners.net.

Latest check: VH-NJH - Airliners.net 18 photos, Planespotters 0 photos :-(

Re reply #56 - any news, AirNav?

Planespotters just doesn't have the coverage, depth, or quality of Airliners.net, and I see that RadarBox24 is using Planespotters as well.

Please resolve your problem with Airliners.net and deliver their photos to us!

The change to planespotters is not definitive. Pls keep waiting for further news on this one.

Please bring back photo's from Airliners.net!

I can't understand what's happening here, all the photos I'm getting are showing credited as "Airliners.net".

I can't mention of Planespotters at all.

I've checked and do have the latest navdata.db installed - can anyone explain this please?

[RodBearden]

Hi Jon

The credit to Airliners.net is built into the software - if you are lucky enough to get a photo for a an aircraft for which you hadn't had a photo before, click it, and you will find yourself taken to Planespotters and not Airliners.net.

Hi Rod, thanks for that, so AN is putting incorrect credits and acknowledgments to the photos - if I were one of the photographers, let alone Airliners.net, I'd be vexed or more likely very seriously p****d off!

Oh, and you were absolutely correct, click on the photo and Planespotters site opens up.......

Assuming this to be a worldwide occurence and assuming the facts to be as outlined by Rod,  a copyright specialist lawyer might find this very interesing.

I've got the latest database update, and when I click an old Airliners photo whose photographer is credited in RadarBox, I'm taken to Planespotters and a different photo is shown, but by the correct photographer, so actually only the "hard wired" "Powered by Airliners.Net" message is wrong - the photographer credit is wrong for the displayed photo, but is right for the photo that you get in Planespotters - I suspect lots of work done by the updaters team.

This is obviously a bit of a mess at the moment - I'm just hoping for the relationship with Airliners to be sorted out.

Were all doomed, doomed I tell you!!  Sorry to the doomsayers but no problems here.

There have been no Airliners links in the d/b since the change was made, only Planespotters links.  You will however have photos in your photo folder provided from Airliners, the system work by going to your photo folder first for the photo, hence if you hover over it in the window, the correct details of the photographer of the one in your folder will be shown.  If however you click on it to see the large one it will take you to a photo on Planespotters which will again be correctly credited.

If you dont want to see the airliners photo from your folder, I would suggest you delete all the ones from Airliners from your photo folder and allow the system to download the Planespotters one if they have it.

Glad that's settled but confusing or what?!?!

Life never seems straightforward on here - it's always a bit "Airnav in Wonderland" if you know what I mean.

Still getting grey blanks instead thumbnails time from time. Even if photo exists on the planespotters. Around 300 blanks are in my Photo folder. Any update, Support?

[prbflight]

Same issue here.  When fixing this please, please bring back Airliners.net or an option to select it!
