savcom Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Recently added some new aircraft to FSX, I get the thumbnails come up in the menu, but they are out of sync with the descriptions. If I delete them from simobjects/aircraft, the menu comes back in order. Is there a fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 What are the exact downloads you are using for these "new" aircraft? I would try one at a time and see which of the new ones is affecting the Selection Page. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

jandjfrench Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Hi savcom, Check that you have the filler files in the UIRES folder for aircraft with missing thumbnails. If these files are not present this will cause the problem you have. Jim F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Looking at where the images start going out of sync, the issue is the 777 300 ER [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandjfrench Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hi il88pp, With those missing jpgs any file he installs without thumbnails will cause the problem. Creating thumbnails for the problem aircraft will correct the problem but any future aircraft with missing thumbnails will cause the problem again.

savcom Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Yes, seems the safest way to do it, but needed to know the actual cause, so can be fixed or avoid altogether. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savcom Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Gents Cracked it, found that the JPG has to be in the aircrafts Texture file, I copied and pasted the missing ones and the order came back. Lesson learned, thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson learned, thank you all Well, there are several other ways to have the thumbnails displayed, but simply having a file named "thumbnail.jpg" in the ..\texture folder is the easiest method. Any name other than "thumbnail.jpg" will require an entry in the aircraft.cfg file for each livery.

il88pp Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Please, what entry. I would love to keep the default file in the texture folder, as thumbnail.jpg unchanged. Then place another file in the folder to be used as thumbnail. Is that what you meant. If so, what to name the file, and what line to add. If you meant something else I'm interested as well. Thank you sir!:) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Found the answer of how to use thumbnails with different names.:) https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?215521-FSX-Thumbnail-Thoughts [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
