• 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.

Hi,

I am using Whisplacer to make better Brazilian scenerys. I´d like to ask you if there is a tutorial to teach us how to make tumbinails. I included my own objects into a library in Whisplacer and I´d like to include an image.
Thanks

I have not seen any tutorials that cover this subject. So first have you read this file that came with Whisplacer 0.8 http://lc0277.nerim.net/whisplacer/import-tut.pdf ? I have made some thumbnails so have some experence with what is needed. Please let me know at what point you are having trouble.

This tutorial is outdated since I made a new library manager window in Whisplacer 0.9. However the procedure for making thumbnails is similar. Create files named {GUID}.thumb.gif (or {GUID}.top.gif) and put them in the appropriate directory for the library. .png and .jpg are also valid file extensions.

If you don't know exactly where thumbnails are searched (this is normal - every bugfix I made to the algorithm involved a regression :rolleyes:), you can edit whisplacer.ini and add/change these lines :

[log]
thumb_search=true

And look at whisplacer.log
