Is the newest version of VSP still capable of using .fxs files to define fuselage cross sections? I tried using the following example from the VSP website, but it didn't seem to be working in 2.9.5. 

FUSE XSEC FILE
Box
17      NumPnts
0       1
0.5     1
0.7     1
0.9     1
0.98    0.98
1       0.9
1       0.7
1       0.5
1       0
1       -0.5

1       -0.9
0.98    -0.98
0.9     -1
0.7     -1
0.5     -1
0       -1

I had no trouble with using .af files to define my wing so that seems to still be working.

Another problem/bug I ran into was when I tried to set my window background to a jpeg; it distorted the image and rotated it. I have attached a screenshot of this issue as well as the original jpeg.

I don't have an example fuselage file handy, but from reading the
source, the first line should be:

OPENVSP_XSEC_FILE_V1

Followed by columns of the x, y coordinate pairs.

We are aware of the problems with JPEG files -- it is a real mess
right now. Some files don't exhibit that behavior, but I haven't been
able to figure out a pattern that predicts when they do that.
