Aircraft Selection - Replace Thumbnails with 3D render

Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Wishlist

On the Aircraft Selection screen, the aircraft images shown are a bit of a mess, with a variety of image formats/styles.

Some show a blank background, some are runway shots, some are in-flight, some are just an image with text and maybe an icon or logo.

Can we just replace the need for thumbnails with a 3d render - just a smaller version of the render in the configuration screens?

That way we can get a uniform style across the board.. similar backgrounds, angles, controlled/correct zoom etc… and it’d be automatically compatible with all future aitcraft.

Do you know how much space and bandwidth that would take??? I’m glad we do have the thumbnails… About the differences, if you have airplanes from MSFS2020 on your game, they will show the MSFS2020 thumbnail style, and some devs do their own thumbnail…

bandwidth? space? Less than all the scenery we routinely stream every single flight, I’m sure.

As to the differences… therein lies part of my problem. The lack of consistency between the tiles to me is jarring.
