Photographic facility offers a totally new way to add and display your digital photos by opening them through the database. By linking directly to the pictures on your hard drive, CD, zip drive or across networks, you can instantly display any picture from your catalogue that you have pathed to the database. There is no limit to the number of photos that can be added against each record and because the pictures are accessed from media outside of the database it avoids the database becoming too big. The photographic section can also be used to catalogue your slides and prints. In the aircraft details screen a camera symbol will appear indicating that you have at least one slide/picture or print catalogued against that entry. Your digital pictures and records can be displayed directly from this screen or through the Photographic Records option on the main menu.

The minimum system requirements are a PC sufficiently powerful to run with Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista and Windows 7/8/10 and has 3 Gb free disk space making Aerodata the only aviation database compatible with all versions of Microsoft Windows from Win98 onwards to the recently released Windows 10 (all editions).

No other software is required to run any Aerodata products, unlike other aviation database products, that require a seperate installation of Microsoft Access. Aerodata supply a runtime version of Access 2000 as part of the package so that the program can be run as an independant stand alone set-up.

Please note though, that having later versions of Microsoft Access (generally Access 2007/2010) installed on the PC you intend to run Aerodata on, can cause the runtime version we supply to function incorrectly, we therefore recommend you contact us by telephone for further information regarding this prior to ordering.
