I've noticed some broken links in DB-Viewer for facilities. Often there is one proper picture and several symbols (white box with white cross inside see attached picture) that indicate the linked picture couldn't get loaded (at least I suspect so).
I am using Build 1300.1 and the alternative pictures downolad from the download page.
So far I identfied:
#1556 A/C Hangar
#41 large A/C Hangar
#1385 A/C Weather Shelter
#44 AV-Gas 75k
#427 Building Airport Terminal
#3 Building Control Tower
#1426 Ammo Shelter
#186 Tarmac Space Large Aircraft
#190 Tarmac Space Medium Aircraft
#103 Tarmac Space Very Large Aircraft
#35 Runway 3200m
#43 Runway 2000m

I guess there are som more.

The 'white' boxes are empty images. In the image folder, they probably are an empty file.
I would suggest clearing all images from the folder, and then unzip the images from the downloaded file.
This should clear up the images.

If you have the 'download' option enabled in CMO, then it should d/l any new images from the web site.

I've deleted the corrupted images (all 77,3 kB and no thumbnail available) from folder and it seemed to work on the first glance.
The empty image box disappeared when opened the DB-Entry the first time. But in the Background CMO generated new corrupt files and the problem occurred again.
Example #427 Airport Terminal there are no secondary images in the DB3000 in the downloads. But there is one Facility_427_t5.jpg within the CWDB (a POL tactical symbol in B&W). CMO generates four placeholders - maybe closing the gap to t5-image? I dunno.

btw: how to enable the download option? Is a question of steam or not steam?

Some more tweaks had been made to the unit image cache for the next beta build that will actually remove any '0' length images (from failed downloads). This will probably address the issue anyway.

Can we get some feedback on this in B1301.1 ?

Problem still exists. After deleting the corrupted images CMO regenerates them after watching the facility in DB viewer. See attached vid, please excuse poor quality, I've installed OBS just for this issue and not familiar with it.

Those thumbnails for #427 are not valid files???

Okay, I see what they are. They are not really images and so should not be there. Will be fixed next time round.

With 1302.1 the empty picture symbols don't reappear after deleting the corrupted pictures.
