August 23, 201015 yr Hi folks.I am a complete noob to ADE, but I have some free time and wanted to try improving the look of my home airport. I read the manual, all FAQ's, and the forums, and I cant find an answer to my problem. I tried to register to their forum but after numerous tries I am unable to get past their 'Registration question', so I figured ti would ask here.I only want to add or modify some 'objects' and buildings, but when using the Library Object Manager, I cant see any thumbnails to be able to see what each object/building looks like before I add it.All the lists say 'thumbnail not available' and when I click on 'Find Thumbnail' it takes me to a list of folders, most of which are empty. The ones that do have something in them are listed as a bunch of numbers, so there is no way to tell that I can find, to identify what is what. If I click on 'Capture New Thumbnail' ADE fades out and a screen capture opens, but doesnt show the object to 'capture'.I hope I explained it clear enough, cause I am totally baffled at this point. Without seeing what each object looks like, I have no way to use them. If anyone can give me a hint as to how to see all thumbs for all FSX objects, I am in your debt!TIAJay Jay

You should be able to get it from the file servers here on AVSIM Jon ------- Microsoft Flight Sim MVP Airport Design Editor FSDeveloper.com
