Easy guide to thumbnails on IoS.

6,923 G2  2.7 years ago

So, looking to spice up your post?
If so, here’s how to get IoS thumbnails.
If you want one of your plane on the ground, here’s how.


  1. Go into the title screen with play, mods, settings, etc.

  2. Select settings and scroll down to on-screen flight controls and disable them.

  3. Go back into sandbox designer and load up your selected plane. Go into the settings on the pause menu and disable instruments.

  4. Position your plane how you want and take a screenshot (One tap of power button and home button at the same time)

  5. Return to editor and click the eye icon.

  6. Click on blueprints and select your screenshot. To do this i usually use the side view.

  7. Click the reposition symbol (essentially plus sign with arrows on each spoke) and move the image above your craft in the editor so you cannot see the craft overlapping the image.

  8. Now go and prepare to share your plane. Add a title, and when you go to take a screenshot, be careful not to move the camera because the screenshot will disappear if you do.

  9. Position the camera as close to or as far as you want in relation to the image. Take the image, and voila!


There you have it folks!

    You can also re-enable hud by pasting the same thing but delete the last zero.

    It’s better to disable the hud and take a shot that way.
    But 5 on are good.
    Just enable dev console and paste
    //maincamera>camera.set_depth 10
