The aircraft thumbnails are currently inconsistent, with varying zoom levels, angles, lighting, and backgrounds. To improve presentation and cohesion, all thumbnails should follow a uniform style — consistent background, lighting, and framing relative to aircraft size. Ideally, they should use a transparent background, similar to what is seen on aircraft like the Red Bull Edge 540 or Grumman Goose.
Here is an expample on how every aircraft tile could look like:

I agree and would also like to add that it would be nice if they were pictured from the side so the livery can actually be seen. Some of the quartering angles make it impossible to see what the livery looks like without having to select it and load it completely into the sim.

Additionally I would think having the creator/owner logo would be useful as a small corner icon (like fenix icon, PMDG etc) it should be a small part of the thumbnail but would help quickly identify who did which. especially if the same thumbnails are used in the marketplace?

Can we just accept these are the worst menus on a videogame ever and just redo the whole UI/UX from scratch.
This isn’t some random underfunded indie game. These menus are unusable and unacceptable. I’m even ok with 2020’s menus back.

For the love of god, yes please. The menu and UI in 2024 has been the change I absolutely hate the most.
I’ll settle for consistent thumbnails but honestly I’d much prefer just getting the 2020 menu back instead.

Voted. 100% agree. Also a side view so we can actually see the aircraft and livery would be nice.
