no thumbnail in fsx aircraft library

[spider1]

When I add 2004 aircraft to x they dont show visually in the library, the name is there but under a different aircraft, the aircraft works well,is there an easy way to add a picture, I am on vista, yours hoping !!!!!

You can add a thumbnail by pasting a small screenshot of the aircraft named thumbnail.jpg to its Texture folder. Use the default aircraft for reference.

This won't necessarily fix your problem. I think that's in the Aircraft.cfg ui_xxx entries. Note the quotes " " on these entries from a default FSX aircraft.

Don't know if this will work with vista,
but this is an easy utility to use,

Yes -- autothumbnail - one key click and you have a thumbnail.
