For some strange reason I have several aircraft in which their pictures do not appear in the Select Aircraft. For example: I have about twelve textures in my B737-800 file which included default as well as add on textures. All the textures are properly shown in the aircraft cfg. I checked it several times to make sure that everything is in order however when I go the Aircraft Select in FSX, only one of the textures appear and that was "texture.JAL" which was [fltsim.0] in the aircraft. cfg. All the rest are missing. What's happening?

Check the texture folders of the aircraft with missing images for a file named thumbnail.jpg. If it's missing create your own with a screenshot of the aircraft. Name the file thumbnail.jpg.

Alternatively, this clever little program will do the job for you. It works well for me. http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=Autothumbnail2.zip&categoryId=

Oops, I think I misread your question. Make sure that the "Show all variations" box is checked on the Select Aircraft screen.

All three boxes "Aircraft Manufacturer, Publisher, and Aircraft Type" all marked as "All".

I meant the checkbox at the bottom of the screen. Where it says "Show all variations"

But as the saying goes, if everything else fails, follow instructions. Duh! Just happened to notice the box you were pointing to. I checked the and voila got all my aircraft.

Thanks Hagar.

Glad I could help.
