FSX Aircraft Menu Selection

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

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.

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.

Looking at where the images start going out of sync, the issue is the 777 300 ER

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.

Yes, seems the safest way to do it, but needed to know the actual cause, so can be fixed or avoid altogether. Thank you

Will check these out, thanks

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

Thanks JimF

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.

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!:)

Found the answer of how to use thumbnails with different names.:)
