Is there an easy way to give configs preview pics?

    Didn't find any posts about this, is it possible? I got a lot of configs and it's hard to wade through them all when they look the same.

    Go to Userfolder/vehicles/<vehicleName>

    Put an image that is named the same as the configuration (.pc) file.

    The image must be JPG, and it's better to resize it (we use 500x281)

    Thanks.
    Is a way to do this in-game planned to be implemented?

    There is a 'Thumbnail Generator' app in-game that takes preview pictures for each configuration (names them, puts them in the right place, etc..) for one specific car.
    It can take a while sometimes, as it creates previews for every configuration, but if you don't mind waiting then you'll have preview pictures that 'match' the official ones.

    Since when? PNGs still work (I just tested it), and the official thumbnail generator (the one bundled with official releases, anyway; I imagine yours is different) still takes them in that format. Even PNGs named "default" will overwrite the vanilla "default" JPGs.

    Speaking of which, it would be nice if there were more customization options for the thumbnail generating process. I believe you already mentioned you'd finally add the dev whiteroom in a later update, but we could also use the ability to choose a format, license plate design, and whether to take a thumbnail of all configs or just the currently spawned one.

    Tried using it, it created thumbnails for some of the official configs.

    .png always worked, it's .jpg supported that was added in 0.18 (if the extension of the file is .jpeg it won't work tho)

    I worked a bit on the script and remade a GUI were you can tweak the camera angles, it's wip but you will be able to test in the next update

    That's the one I really want to see. It would be great to have the option of only making one config rather than all of them.
