hello all can anyone tell me why some of the planes i dowload end up in the gallery in the game and some do not. i am downloading them in exactly the same way yet some appear and some do not. im not the most computer literate person but any input would be appreciated thanks.

If you mean the chooser gallery it's probably FS.9 aircraft without a supplied thumbnail that are not showing

Danno' go open up your Aircrafts FOLDER,,, go to the aircraft your having problems with not showing up - once there and inside the FOLDER look for the TEXTURE  folder - open it,, there should be a file that says - "thumbnail" and it needs to be in JPG format and somewhat small, not to big,,,, if there is NOT a file that says - Thumbnail - you'll need to take a screen shot of the aircraft and save it to a JPG format,,,, and place it in yout aircrafts TEXTURE folder and rename that photo file exactly to - thumbnail ,,,,,, and presto it'll show up in your aircrafts sim menu .

If a missing thumbnai is the problem, an easy way to generate one is to right click and "save" the image from the download page and save it as "thumbnail.jpg" in the texture folder.

Make sure you're not downloading "texture only" packages, because those don't have any plane inside...
