In this video we go through the process of adding model images or icons to your transmitter. Not only do we look at where you can download these images from. But, we also look at how you can create your own personalised images. Why have someone else's plane, when you can have yours?
Having the images is one thing, but where do you put them? I'll show you how to get them on your OpenTX (EdgeTX) and ETHOS transmitters. This is a nice simple copy, so you'll be up and running in no time.
There are a couple of rule to take note of. Firstly, stick to 10 characters or less for the image names. Files with longer names just won't appear in the image list. Also if you're creating your own images; remember the image sizes needed:
🖼 OpenTX (Colour LCD transmitters): 192 x 114 pixels
🖼 ETHOS: 300 x 280 pixels
🖼 ETHOS X18(S): 180 x 166 pixels
You'll find the links to the icons site and image editor below. I've also had a comment from audiogek fpv, who says that the Paint3D application that comes with Windows 10 is also pretty good.

[NOTE] ETHOS pilots. If you update to version 1.2.x and your model images are no longer visible. You need to rename your model images folder from bitmaps/user to bitmaps/models. After that, they will come back.
