Hi all, today I noticed that in the new database DB3k_515, the picture for the MQ-25A Stingray [#4917] displays an X-47B, while the X-47B entry [#4554] shows an MQ-25A!

Updated images & descriptions packs are now available on the WS downloads page!

The DB3000 update now contains 18897 files. The secondary image files pack remains as-is, and contains a total of 508 MB and 4,485 images.

The db514 and db515 updates only had additions for db3000; so no CWDB images were added (or needed). As with previous updates, the added entries for DB3000 resulted in some of the existing images falling into incorrect time slots. In some cases, the existing image was shifted to a new entry, which entailed finding a new and different image to backfill the shifted image. Here are the highlights:

1) New aircraft images, primarily for, but not restricted to, the USAF.

2) New weapon images. The majority are for Russian ICBM and Air-to-ground platforms. Plus a significant number of replacements

3) New naval images for the USN Ticonderoga CG, Arleigh Burke DDG, Los Angeles and Virginia submarine classes and a few foreign navy pics. Plus replacements due to some of the new db 514 / db 515 entries.

4) An overhaul of the meta data for the existing images of the US Navy surface vessels and submarines.

The images can also be downloaded on-demand from within CMO (no manual action needed). If you wish to re-download images that you have already got (e.g. to update), delete all files in these folders:
[CMO]\DB\Images\DB3000
[CMO]\DB\Images\CWDB

Special recognition for this release to kgambit, CV60, Blast33!

On the downloads page the DB3000 link does not work.

The CWDB and DB3000 download links are still not working, as was pointed out by Blast33, I just wanted to follow up and bring it to someone's attention. Thanks in advance.

It is working here.

I tried some tricks and also another browser (Exlorer) and after a few tries it suddenly said (Explorer itself) that the file could not be downloaded savely.
Pushed some buttons that it is save and ta ta, there it is....

[Dimitris]

I just checked, and both links work correctly, if you right-click on them and select "Save as....".

Thank you for following up and the suggestion. I don't know why that didn't occur to me, so thank you for the reminder to try.
