Add on aircraft not in selection window

[Cessna140usedtobe]

Windows 10 and FSX I downloaded the Zenith CH701 file for FSX and installed it according to the Readme and the information in the write up by Andrew Heard at this link https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?2063 When I select CHANGE to select the new aircraft, it does not show on the page with the other available aircraft. If I choose to view the aircraft by manufacturer - in this case Zenith Aircraft - the manufacturer's name is listed. When I select it and choose the DETAILS button in the window I get the rotating view of the aircraft and the information about the CH701 BUT there is no way to select it so I can fly it. Can someone tell m e what is missing that prevents this aircraft from being selectable?

 

Thanks,

PS. I have downloaded and installed other aircraft successfully.

Do you have your aircraft selection page set up like this one? Attention to the things circled in red.

Also did you rename the panel as directed:

 

The Zenith A/C company manufacture a range of kit built light A/C.

The CH 701 is a highly regarded STOL 2 seat kit A/C.

This model is also suitable for FSX. To use in FSX you need

to delete the standard panel cfg file and rename the

supplied panel_fsx.cfg file to panel.cfg.

Yes, my panel is set up correctly and yes, as I said I followed the readme instructions.

 

I found the solution. By accident, after I got the details display by selecting the manufacturer in the filters at the top of the page, I pressed OK twice and I was able to fly the airplane. After some investigation of other aircraft files I saw that all the Thumbnails were in jpg format but the CH701 kit only had it as a bmp. I reformatted the thumbnail to a jpg and now it appears in the selection window.
