Hi.

Just take a snapshot of the model while you're flying it, then crop it to remove unwantet parts in the picture.
Rezize it to 200x200 pixles, and save it under <modelname>_prv.jpg.
Note that <modelname> must be exactly the same as the models name.

Procedure for thaking good snapshots:
- Fly the wanted model.
- Press "P" (pause) when you find a good angle of the model.
- Adjust the angle by using the numeric pads 3/9, 4/6 and +/- till you are satisfyed whit the models position in the picture.
- Press <PrtScr> on your keyboard.
- Paste the picture into a picture prosessing program (I use Paint Shop Pro)
- Crop, resize and save it.
- Be sure that the pictures ratio is 1 to 1, if not add a stipe at the top and bottom to get the ratio right.
