Attn Nighthawk: re Aircraft Types

Hi Nighthawk,

Sorry to keep on about this but it is a fairly big issue. I wolke up one day to find my list of most seen aircraft types was only showing the model type before any "-" dash. So all Tupolevs were showing just Tu, Tristars just L, etc.

I raised a forum post which has been summarily ignored except one fellow premium subscriber.

I understand that things go wrong, updates aren't perfect etc but, after many weeks, it would be nice to at least get an acknowledgement.

I don't know if this image will show, I followed the recommended site for image hosting.

Thanks

Hi Dougie,

Sorry for not replying sooner. I'm aware of the issue, and trying to find a way to fix it, but it's not an easy fix.

There was an existing issue with the way they were displaying that we tried to correct (I cant remember what it was now!), but the only alternative results in the issues you've noticed. It works better for 737/A320 and modern aircraft, but fails a bit on older aircraft.

Short of working through every single record and re-wording the aircraft type (there's only about half a million records...) i'm not sure what the solution is.

I'll try and have a look over Christmas and see what can be done.

Hi Nighthawk

The way the differentiation works right now is harmed by the first - in the aircraft type..

The - would have to be eliminated somehow like DC8, DC9 or IL76, IL18 or C17, C5.

Question is if this changes anything for the individual user, since he logged it once as DC-8, IL-76 and C-17 and would still have to edit the type in every case I suppose.

The differentiation used to allow the first - and so made a difference between for example 737-800(WL) ,737-8FH(WL) and 737-83Z(WL)

or

A350-941 and A350-1041

That was the existing issue you say you can't remember, with the way they were displaying that you tried to correct.

The other issue that looks like being forgotten is the one with My reports.

This was working very well as it was at the beginning, apart from maybe sometimes but rarely being a bit slow.

Now if you filter an airport for your reports, it finds them but only shows as much of them as do appear in the equal total number of all of your last reports.times 25.(the size of one page in my reports)

If you search for a report of an airport you only visited once (or 25 times), but since then you created 25 or more new reports elsewhere it won't be shown at all.

This should be easier to fix. Still it would be nice to have back the original where we also could search for dates or city names and not only airport codes.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year

and

Thanks already and in advance

Erdni
