...Iron Eagle!
Yes, I know, different airplane! Though, despite the general crappiness of the movie, I have to say the race scene is quite cool. The stuntman flying Doug's 152 was Art Scholl, who later died while filming Top Gun's flat spin scene.
Photos were what made this site and now the number of uploads and views are way down. The average number of daily uploads is around 450 and until fairly recently it would take nearly four weeks for shots to be screened. To put that into perspective, the main rival site averages over four times as m...
Jump to postOne game I find myself periodically returning to is the space shooter FreeSpace 2 from 1999, considered the "unlucky sibling" to the X-Wing and Wing Commander series due to the poor sales despite the positive reviews. It was given to me as a Christmas gift, I played the main campaign a cou...
Jump to postAfter a month without issues, I get the error again every 2-3 pages.
I wonder why it happens so periodically.
No errors for a few days, but sometimes it takes up to 2 minutes to load search results or open a photo page.
Jump to postI just got it at the home page itself https://www.airliners.net/ and at the photo upload page https://www.airliners.net/photo-upload/upload Time stamp is 20:58 GMT+2 24/07/2023. At around 20:20 GMT+2 24/07/2023 I had the same error at least 4 times at the photo upload page https://www.airliners.net/...
Jump to postAfter several weeks with only seldom 500 error pop ups, now I'm getting one error behind the other. Only after the 5th attempt I was able to upload a photo.
Jump to postIn a private e-mail exchange with the screening team I was told the issue is the excessive dead space in front and after the plane (which seemed strange to me, since I had several shot with a similar framing accepted...) I was suggested switching to 4:3 crop. However, I'd like to be consistent with ...

Jump to postI will add this one, which is also the strangest request I have ever received for photo usage... I took this photo in 2012. Few months later, this plane was w/o after a wheels-up landing.

Jump to postIn Italy, Ghedi air base (LIPL) and Montichiari airport (LIPO/VBS) were once connected by the "German taxiway" built by Organisation Todt in 1944 during the German occupation of Italy.
Its remains are still barely visible on Google Maps.
Thank you for your reply! I didn't want to use the appeal function to avoid wasting screeners' time!
Jump to postHi, I had upload ID 6922167 rejected with "Photog" reason. I looked for it on the rejection FAQ, and if I understand correctly it is given when it is highly doubtful that the uploader is the author of the photo.

I remember having an air racing game called Xtreme Air Racing 2, but I found it to be quite meh. There was an air racing community for Il-2 1946, but AFAIK it does not exist anymore, and I don't know if they migrated to later Il-2 titles. There are some attempts to bring air racing in DCS World, and...
Jump to postBoth those looks fine to me Now I see them correctly too... When I posted my last post, I still saw a Waco biplane instead of the F-16, and an Air China A330 instead of the Piaggio on 2 different devices. And I did not purge the cache on any of them. Oh well, at least everything is ok now :) Thanks...
Jump to postI have noticed that also my photo ID #2729037 suffers from the same problem: wrong thumbnail, but correct large photo.
Where are you studying? If you are attending a university in Europe, there is a chance there already is a local group of the Euroavia aerospace students association: https://euroavia.eu/
Jump to postI tried to insert the reg of a plane of the same model (YR-BVJ), and then changed the info, and everything worked.
Go wonder why.
It's happening again, this time with the IAR-46S motorglider (registration YR-BVH if you want to try yourself):
Thank you for your assistance!

Sorry to sound insisting, but is there any news on this? It is still impossible to upload any photo of Pilatus PC-6/B2-H4 Turbo Porter (I tried inserting different regs with the same version as a test, and it still shows that error).

Is the visible airman an...
