When installing new aircraft it seems to be hit or miss as to whether I get the small preview picture of aircraft in the aircraft listing window. The main window that the aircraft appears in before I start a flight is fine. Anyone got any ideas.

Thanks

Matt

maybe you can edit the file... make the modle a bit bigger... right now im not sure as to which one it is... but look around you may be abe to increase the size somehow...

FS9 aircraft won't have the little picture thingy only FSX aircraft will.

But there is a program on SimV to make the thumbnails (as their called)

You can create the 'thumbnail' for each aircraft/texture that doesn't have one.

As mentioned there is a download named 'Autothumbnail V2' in the FSX Utilities download page.

Else: Crop/resize a screenshot of the ac and save as a 256x128 jpeg image named 'thumbnail.jpg' in the aircrafts corresponding 'texture' folder.

Thanks for the help. Without a thumbnail the list just looks very untidy.
