How Do You Create An Avitar For Fs2004 A/c In Fsx?

[tigisfat]

Most aircraft don't appear on my a/c select page, and when they do, they don't have an avitar. This uses other a/c's avitar, and messes the list up. How do I fix this?

Each FSX aircraft has a small bitmap in its directory.
Create a screenshot of the FS9 aircraft, resize it to the exact same dimensions in pixels as those, and place it in the aircraft directory for the FS9 aircraft using that same name.

Sorry I can't be more specific, I'm not at my FSX computer right now.

thanks, that makes sense enough for me, I'll try it.

I downloaded it. Is it going to have any adverse effects?
