No option to generate 3d plane in X-Plane 11

Question

I have planes frrom X-Plane 10. I have them in the correct directory and I can fly them. But the option to generate a 3d Model is "stuttering" On some starts I see it and it works. On other starts no option is there. Sometimes I need to start 7 times before the option is there.

Also after pressing the button to generate 3d plane x-plane minimizes (becomes windowed view).

 

anybody else has this issue?

Answer 1

If you would like to create an icon for a plane, try starting a flight with it then going to Developer menu > regenerate icons for current aircraft. That option should always be available. X-Plane may adjust the window size, time of day, etc to ensure it gets the best possible image.
