I have downloaded some extra planes off the web for FMS. They show up in the directory list but an image is not shown in the model dialog box. Is this something that can be fixed some how? They fly and show up correctly, just in the selection box.

some additional models dont have a preview pic with them.

you need a jpg image of the aircraft named (aircraftname)_prv.jpg

I dont know the resolution of the pic... if you open one of the ones already in the c:\program files\fms\models (or wereever you have it installed) dir you should be able to find out.

Thanks unstable that did it. The resolution did not seem to be that big of a deal. They all varied around 300x300. The hardest is to maneuver it in-flight to get a screen capture of it. I then cropped it in Paint Shop Pro. My cable has not yet arrived and flying with the keyboard is like flying the old pulse radios to get it close for a good image.
