As i am not using it interactively but only for db logging purposes, i don’t mind having no pictures.
Thank you. I missed that one!

Not sure when it started, but today I noticed that VRS v2.4.4 stopped showing aircraft photos. I installed the AirportData Thumbnails plugin for v2 and they’re still not showing. Is anyone else having this problem?
Looks like airport-data.com is down.
Images are pulled from airport-data.com which is down (again) once (assuming) it gets fixed they’ll return

How do you install this plugin in Linux?
Which plugin? <20 characters>
AirportData Thumbnails. I see it for Windows, but not for Linux
I don’t think it’s a plugin. This is part of a default installation, independent if Windows or Linux.
They stopped using the data because of some suspicious things with that site.
Been using VRS for years and as @foxhunter says, it’s not a plug-in, it’s a feature. There’s no setting you can do in Tools/Options to turn that on. It’s built in. Does your display look like this?
Since you’re asking, mine looks something like this:
Still with airport-data thumbnails.
I occasionally start VRS up.
VRS v2.4.4 and Mono 6.4.0, on an Apple MacBook Pro M2.

I have used VRS for about nine years and always had Thumbnails when it was on Windows but I moved it to a Raspberry Pi five years ago and the thumbnails stopped working.
I did an update/upgrade last month and they magically re-appeared.
Strange but very welcome.

Thumbnail pictures disappeared again.
Having stopped and started VRS in different modes a few times and done some fruitless digging in settings and logs, they reappeared when VRS was started in background mode.
Don’t understand why as it has always run in background mode.
I guess it is just something that works sometimes and not others.
Computer coding has become so complex nowadays I sometimes wonder it works at all, so often issues get resolved and one wonders why as nothing specific was done to resolve it.
