Autothumbnail

Post by TSR2 »

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question to see if anyone is using the autothumbnail addon for FSX to generate thumbnails for the non FSX aircraft. I have installed the addon (successfully) but there is no menu item on the toolbar. This is in Vista, so I'm curious if anyone else has managed to get it to work in Vista, or if anyone has found a better utility.

Cheers. xsmile

I use it with XP no problem. Have look in the EXE.XML file (C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\EXE.xml with XP, don't know about Vista) and make sure it's in there and not disabled. Should read:

Code: Select all

<Launch.Addon>
		<Disabled>False</Disabled>
		<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
		<Name>Autothumbnail</Name>
		<Path>C:\Program Files\Autothumbnail\Autothumbnail.exe</Path>
	</Launch.Addon>

Hi Dave,

Yep, its all there, and the warning message comes up confirming that you want to load the module just after instalation. I just don't get anything in the toolbar, and it doesn't seem to runn manually either. Must be a Vista thing.

Are there any alternatives that anyone knows about?
