• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS9 aircraft selection bitmaps

When selecting an aircraft/livery type in FS9 there is always a rotating picture of the plane. Where can I find this image file? And how does it get there? Unlike FSX there is a photo of every single plane, including addons and AI.

Thanks.
 
That isn't a bitmap. It's a rendering in real time of the actual exterior model.
 
Many thanks. A 'rendering'. Does this mean it's an animated file of some sort? Can it be captured and used as a thumbnail?
 
Hi,

It's just the MDL file of the aircraft being rendered, just as happens when you are actually flying it in the sim.

To capture it I guess you would just have to make a screenshot of the selection screen.
 
I use PrintScreen to capture that image. Then paste it into a Paint program.
