Yes, admin have been aware of this for a long time. The icons are still in the same stage of "being reworked" as they were back in 2018 per Mike's post. You shouldn't hold your breath waiting for a fix.

Yep, I'm aware of that, back in the day I was very active here in the forum... still worth pointing out anyway, who knows...

Greetings everyone!

I have noticed that all aircraft of the type TUCA (EMB-312 Tucano, mostly used for military training, CAS, etc) are using the light multi-engine icon (see screenshot below), but they are single engine turboprops.

If someone could please just fix that, would be great!

Best regards from Brazil!

Hello. The flight data for aircraft ZUIGT appears to be corrupted. Was working fine until November. Unable to do flight playback since December. Any advice on how to fix? Thanks

That was already established when I initially asked the source to ask if it was a dbase, or route issue. Not adding much further.

Well None of the other entries have it. So questioning the source it is still valid.
Mixing and matching icao/iata isn't a thing when they ask for only one in the dbase thread.

just like the '320' and '333' s

The IATA codes are likely provided by the data supplier, and are used as a placeholder when no specific aircraft registration has been picked up for the flight yet.

You’ll notice that once a flight is active, or if there is a registration assigned, the ‘correct’ ICAO values that match from the FR24 database are used.

PL2 is the IATA code for PC12

Heres an odd one.

Assigned aircraft error, or supplied operator/route dbase error? (This is chc-bhe)

These are done by PC12s. Not PL2s of sounds air. Populates after the fact.

A leg chc-wanaka this morning was the same. While the return trip now is correctly assigned the type/data airborne

Seems there may be a wrong/lacking route? But then doesn't explain it picking an aircraft type.

It's FR24s infamous third party data providers ! If you want some chuckles have a look around the schedules in Australia and the fake data that populates on the map.

Just got a notification about QTR18K saying they have a general emergency, can someone tell me what emergency they are having?

This thread is to discuss the hex database. You can email the support@fr24.com team for general questions.

I'm not sure I get what you're saying. On my browser it says the plane belongs to the 'Swiss Flying Club' as you'd expect.

You are right. It has been adjusted now. thanks everyone and happy holidays.
