LH Operational Flight Information no longer available on Amadeus

It looks like LH flight information is no longer available on the Amadeus flight status tool (the tool has been discussed many times on FT, for example here http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...o-amadeus.html )

For instance, if you want to pull up information about the LH862 flight yesterday, you only get information about the landing time at non-German airports:

If you want to pull up status of intercontinental flights, there is no information available about them any more at all. It's a pity, I think, because the Amadeus flight info was more detailed than the flight status presented on the LH website, plus in addition Amadeus shows flight status for the past few days. More and more airlines start to display their status on Amadeus (Avianca joined in several days ago), so it's surprising LH gave up on that. Hopefully, this is just a temporary glitch.

Btw, did anyone notice that the flight route map displaying "the current position of the aircraft" on the LH flight status page is quite often at odds with the real aircraft position presented at http://www.flightradar24.com/? Also, the routes that LH shows on the map often have little correspondence with the actual routes flown.
