    Create Default Thumbnails (MSFS 2024) - Image 1

    Description

    This tool allows you to create default thumbnails for MSFS 2024 more quickly and easily.

    Instructions:

    Download the .zip file and save the enclosed .xml file somewhere on your computer

    Enter Developer mode, select the aircraft you want to create thumbnails for, and create a new project (this final step is required to gain access to the menus needed for the rest of the process, but we won't actually be doing anything with this project)

    Select the Aircraft Capture Tool from the Tools menu

    Click "Load Custom Set" and select the .xml file you saved earlier

    That's it! Click capture, and the simulator will automatically create all five default thumbnails for your plane (including with the correct names)

    Just wondering if you have any ideas why when I'm creating the thumbnails in FS2024 they create correctly but there's no undercarriage/ wheels showing?
    I have the TDFi MD-11 in flying mode with the wheels down but it doesn't capture the thumbnails this way?? Thanks

    Try to click "Resume Simulation" in the dev menu once you have loaded the xml

    Thanks for this xml file.
    However for me, it does not work with Fenix A320 when following your instructions. MSFS crashes/freezes.
    Will try with other plane later :)

    Yep the Fenix has been having issues with thumbnails recently but has nothing to do with the xml itself

    Not a criticism, but you might like to consider some small amendments:
    1) 2024 uses PNG thumbnails, so the files should be something like File="thumbnail.png".
    2) 2024 doesn't use "thumbnail_small" but you might still want to have it - but add the .jpg (File="thumbnail_small.jpg"). You could also have File="thumbnail.jpg" if you like.
    3) 2024 also uses "thumbnail_variation" so maybe add the following (replace the square brackets):
    [Thumbnail Width="660" Height="300" Camera="ThumbnailButton" CaptureAlpha="0" File="thumbnail_variation.png" MakeUniqueFilename="0" ShowsShootingScene="0" ShowsShootingSceneLights="0" ShowsWorld="1" ShowsSunLight="1" DrawOutline="0" OutlineWidth="1" OptimiseCamera="1" OptimisationType="InterestingPoints"/]

    1) the file saves as png automatically
    2) thumbnail small is included because it's part of the SDK and default liveries
    3) thumbnail_variation is not necessary for everything to show in the game

    Thanks very much for this XML file! For those that want more information as to which thumbnails are needed, see:

    thanks for your tool - good idea - before to try it please could you show thumbnail results with natural background (not black one as seen on your screenshot) and precise if it ok to get jpg thumbnail - so if it is ok to get same as the enclosed picture - thanks in advance
