Add a real photo straight from the map
Until today the only way to add a real-life photo of something you caught was the collection page. That works when you sit down in the evening and sort your shots. It does not work when the plane is still over your head and you have maybe twenty seconds before it is a dot.
So the photo button moved to where the catch happens.
After a catch on the map
Catch an aircraft from the radar on the map and a small pill appears at the bottom for twenty seconds: "Add a real photo of" and the aircraft's name. Tap it and the photo form opens with that aircraft already picked. You don't scroll through your hangar to find it.
If you closed the pill or missed it, open the radar list again. Aircraft you caught today stay in the list, and their card now has a Real photo button.
The camera opens first
The aircraft photo form used to start with a file picker. On a phone that means a detour through the gallery while the aircraft keeps flying. Now there are two buttons: Take a photo, which opens the camera, and From the gallery for shots you already have.
The rules have not changed. You can add a photo of an aircraft you caught while it was over you, and up to ten photos per airframe.
Ships on the map
The ship card on the map has a Real photo button as well, on both the in-game map and the public one at /map. It opens the same form as the collection page, with that ship already picked. A ship photo still counts only when you are close to the ship, so the form checks your location first. If she is not near you right now, it says so instead of quietly showing an empty list.
Private vessels have no button. We don't know who they are, and we keep it that way.
What comes next
Two more places are on the list. One is a button on the front page, something like "What's above me?", that scans the sky over you, lets you catch and photograph in one go, and works when you open the site from a phone in a hurry. The other is the flight mode itself. Both need more thought about what happens when the catch and the photo come apart, so they are written up as a plan first.
If you try the new button and something gets in the way, tell us in Discord. The point of this change is speed, so every extra tap you notice is worth hearing about.
