January 8, 201214 yr HiIn the menu you open (select aircraft) there are images of the various aircraft.Where is the location of the folder that holds this image?I'm running FSX and have PMDG FS9 aircraft installed (running my own flightdeck - long story). The images in the "select aircraft" folder for the PMDG aircraft are question marks and I'd like to correlate them to the particular PMDG aircraft.Long shot - thanks, Iain WilloW (YMHB) flaps2approach.comB737-800 simulator
January 8, 201214 yr Actually, if you go into, for example, the PMDG NGX Folder and select any texture, you will see that there is an image that's called "Thumbnail". It's in every aircraft's independent texture folder.If you want to put a new one in for an aircraft, it must be named "thumbnail" and then it should work. Edited January 8, 201214 yr by Tatave Thanks, Kevin L
January 8, 201214 yr You may have to create them if they are FS9 aircraft.Location is normally in the aircraft/texture folder, called Thumbnail.jpgJust look in the default FSX C172 folders for an example.Any jpg will do.. Bert
January 8, 201214 yr Author Ah - Ok. Many thanks for your very fast reply, Iain WilloW (YMHB) flaps2approach.comB737-800 simulator
January 8, 201214 yr the thumbnails are in each livery texture folder of your aircraft. each texture.X folder would need a thumbnail.jpgHow to make them? Just fly the plane with each livery and make screenshots, then use MS Paint to crop them (to make your plane as prominent as possible) and save as a .jpeg with the name "thumbnail" and insert in the appropriate texture folder.
January 8, 201214 yr Author Yes on the way now. Thank you. Must be the easiest thing to do :) WilloW (YMHB) flaps2approach.comB737-800 simulator
