March 3, 200917 yr Has anyone had any luck using the "autothumbmaker" program located in the AVSIM file library? autothumbnail2.zipI have tried to install this on a VISTA 64 system and the install runs to completion, MSFSX asks upon startup whether I want to run the program, and then also asks if I want to add this to the trusted programs. But I find no entry in the top of screen menu and hence can not accomplish the creation of thumbnails. Any help would be appreciated.Kingfish

Any help would be appreciated.KingfishI did not know of this file/program but have made lots of "thumbnail" images.......Just take a screengrab - change the screengrab file-name to "thumbnail" and place it in the relevant texture folder.I usually edit the image file to a size of around 350 x 150 pixels and save it is "thumbnail.bmp" Old enough to know better... ...young enough to do most of it again!

March 3, 200917 yr Yup. Open FSX. Select your plane. Hit "Prt Scr". Open Paint( yes ,the lowly Paint. I've even done repaints with it). Hit "Ctrl+V". Crop to just your plane. Save as "thumbnail". Copy and paste to the plane"s texture folder.Bob Bob i5, 16 GB ram, GTX 960, FS on SSD, Windows 10 64 bit, home built works anyway.

Any help would be appreciated.KingfishI use it on XP SP2 with FSX SP1 & 2, Kingfish: works flawlessly. I'm at work at the moment, but I think the entry in the menu bar appears under the FSUIPC bar. i7 [email protected] | 32GB RAM | EVGA RTX 3080Ti | Maximus Hero VII | 512GB 860 Pro | 512GB 850 Pro | 256GB 840 Pro | 2TB 860 QVO | 1TB 870 EVO | Seagate 3TB Cloud | EVGA 1000 GQ | Win10 Pro | EK Custom water cooling.
