Aircrafts photo download - stopped working?

[AirNav Development]

This problem is now fully identified and will be correct within the next 24 hours.

Looks like download of photos has stopped working again.

I agree with Netcop my photo download has stopped working. I am based close to Luton

Photo's no longer coming from Airliners, now coming from planespotters.net.  I presume the existing links will no longer work.

Hi Alan

Is there anything we can do to change the link, or is it to development?

If you dont have a picture for the aircraft and it has an Airliners link, delete the link/s in d/b explorer and if its in planespotters it will download just the same as before. If you already have pictures of the aircraft already they will display as before.   I have already seen planespotters.net downloads.

Dunno and no

We are sorry for not sending a brief on this situation to the main forum (we sent it to database updaters only).

From now on all photo thumbnails will be downloaded from the planespotters.net website.
This has to do with upcoming releases of new AirNav Systems solutions.
The server software is already updated and gradually all thumbnails will be changed.

Any question don't hesitate to ask our support at [email protected]

Thanx for the clarification.

Shame that - Airliners.net for me have much better quality pics - and they still don't seem to be downloading the pics on my PC.

Can you not put the link back to Airliners.net when you come to fix it or does it have to be spotters - I much prefer entering the Airliners.net site when I double click the thumbnails.

Is it just my laptop or is the down load time getting longer?

Pics of new aircraft are not downloading
I have not had a pic of a new plane since the change over to planespotter
Do I need to change a setting to stop my box looking at Airliners.net?
 
Example that has just happened - my radar box picked up RAF Tornado ZA462

 - unable to download picture - planespotter has 1 quite poor picture of ZA462 - hovering my cursor over the unable to download message did give the planespotter.net photographers name, but still said powered by Airliners.net???

Airliners.net has 38 rather good pictures of ZA462 and I am sure I would have had pictureS downloaded of it had the change not been made to the far inferior planespotter.net

Any chance of restating the links to Airliners.net ?
Cheers Bat 21

As mentioned under 'New problems', my link from the thumbnails hasn't worked since at least August 22nd. As also stated, the Forum tab doesn't work either. Hope these aren't the new inovations promised from September !

Have to agree that Airliners.net is better than the other photos sites in every way.

We can only hope that the change will be worth it when the new developments are rolled out and we perhaps discover why the change was necessary.

You can still download the Airliners photos yourself and add then into your photo folder just ensure they are the required size of 200 x 133 and are jpeg and are named as per the registration of the aircraft concerned

BAT21 until the next Navdata release all photo links in your d/b are to Airliners.Net and as the link is now broken it will not work.  For ZA462 go into d/b explorer and delete the info in PT. LK, PTS AND LK2.  This will allow the planeplotter photo to download.
