Aircraft Listing All Over The Place

In my initial aircraft page the pictured of some of the aircraft and the tital don 't matych the actual aircraft. For example, I have the Cub name and when I select the aircraft it chows correctly. Hoever, the picture showing in the aircraft listiong is actually an A320

Also, with the default aircraft, only one shows, which means I can'r select others. I'fe checked the cfg file and all the textures, air files, [flightsim x] numbers are correct.

Am I doing something wrong, here?

One of your thumbnail JPG files is corrupted.

On top of your list, the names and pics might still correspond.

Try to find the spot where the "shift" starts happening. That's where the corrupted file needs to be searched.

Delete or replace it.

Hi. Seems like you're on the right track. But I got there accidentally. I found that one of my aircraft was missing a thumbnail pic, so I created one and my listing seems to have sorted itself out.

But this raises another question, along similar lines. In some aircraft folders I, like most people, have multiple aircraft in one folder. For example, I have Virgin and Malta aircraft in one A320 folder. The virgin aircraft shows in my listing but my Malta doesn't, Same with the default aircraft. Why is this? I don't remember this being the case when I was active on the sim about 5 years ago.

There Is one thumbnail per texture folder, per livery.

So multiple thumbnails per aircraft folder is possible.

@ Wim

Wasn't there a thread several years ago discussing the missing white default aircraft like the C172 and others? I remember Jim Robinson providing the solution about adding texture.cfg to some of the texture folders and renaming them texture.white.

I recall that it eliminated a lot of scattered and missing aircraft.

In the aircraft selection screen, there is a tick-box for "show all variants". Selecting that should hopefully solve that issue.

F16, I have a thumbnail in every aircraft texture folder

John, I'd missed that box. Now checked and all aircraft displayed. However, when I select "Commercial Airliners" only the default are displayed. "All" is checked in other boxes.

It would be nice if you kept yourself to one problem per thread, and not jumping to another one without stating if the previous is solved.

Wim

My apologies for that.

Yes, all other problems solved, and I'm grateful for the advice. Thank you. I think my problem was I was trying to rush things and do too many things at the same time.

So the only issue that remains is where I only get default aircraft when I select "Commercial Airliners". But it's not a major issue.

That's defined by the ui_typerole= line in the [fltsim] sections of aircraft.cfg for each aircraft.

Some of the developers/repainters (me included) don't care for adding that line.

description="The Airbus A321 is a stretched version of Airbus’ best-selling short- and medium-range A320. The A321 has a slightly increased wing area, stronger landing gear with larger tires, and engines with increased thrust. When the A321 entered service in 1988, it pioneered the use of “glass cockpit” instrumentation, the first digital fly-by-wire control system used in an airliner, and sidestick controllers."
