Hi, i'm designing a small single engine light aircraft like the c172 but i don't want to start from scratch with a gmax model. Does anyone know a way the original fs2004 c172 model can be opened in gmax, or if a good gmax c172 model is available anywhere?Thanks heaps already- ian(ian UNSW sydney Australia)

Once compiled, it stays that way, thankfully.If you have access to FS2002 original disks though, there is a sample PA28-180 .gmax file in the gmax folder. Perhaps you could use that as the basis for your experimenting... :)

Heere is one from FS98 that is very simple. You will want to trace and enhance it. Makes a good starting point. "Some" work required upon your part.
