Mar-19-02, 09:45 PM (EST) "Request to all contributors" Hi. I have a simple request for all contributors. Could everyone please try to ensure there is a graphic file included in your zips (.jpg preferable). The reason I say this is because the volume of files available now is insane. I, for one, download almost everything North American. Now, because Train-sim.com has to use an 8.3 filename format, some of the filenames become useless later on down the road. So, a picture is an instant 'Oh yeah! That's what I'm looking for!'.I do know that many (most) of you include pics now, but I just wanted to mention it again (with an arguement to my position).Please, nobody get offended. There is just too much stuff out there now to be able to remember everything by an 8.3 name!Ray

Mar-20-02, 11:07 AM (EST) 1. "RE: Request to all contributors" I think this is a valid request. I would like to add something to it. Would someone please indicate what the size of the thumbnail picture should be. (e.g. 160x100, 80x50, etc.) Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Mar-21-02, 10:13 AM (EST) 2. "RE: Request to all contributors" Our standard thumbnails are GIF images that are 150 pixels wide. The height varies as needed, but is generally between 60 and 90 pixels.And I do agree that having a thumbnail is a great idea...I really don't know why every uploader doesn't include one. A good text file description is a great idea too...something that also is often left out.Anyone needing help on these subjects should look at our tips page:http://www.flightsim.com/dev-tips.htm
