>Hi guy`s l know whis would have come up b 4 ... where can l>find a great web site on how to make aircraft... and learn>Gmax l only presume that that`s what they are using... thanks>guys in advance>PaulOf course the obvious answer to "where can I find a great website on how to make aircraft" is right here in the AVSIM Design forum ...Okay,, now that Jonh Ci and Tom Allensworth have their respective attentions elsewhere, face it, we all KNOW that the absolute best site to learn flightsim modelling is the (blatant plug warning) Freeflight Design Shop (http://www.freeflightdesign.com), with tutorials, tips, and the Design Forum where a lot of of the major modellers either contribute or lurk. Naturally, there's also the excellent and large collection of source files for gmax and other modelling programs.As for tutorials - not only to we host many, but possibly more important, we provide links to many of the best tutorials for flightsim modelling.To be honest, I like to think that FFDS is the best site for flightsim visual modelling, and this AVSIM design forum for gauge and panel building. Flightsim dynamics honors goes to http://www.avhistory.org, and scenery design to http://www.scenery.orgHOWEVER, ask away here - you'll find that most of the people that will answer your question make the tour of the major (and specialized) design forums.

Bud thank you soooooo much this does help in a big way... again thanksPaul

LOL Felix :)I was going to say.... drumroll .... freeflightdesign.comIf you're learning FSDS, Dave Eckert's site (www.daviator.com) is also very helpful. Dave was the first designer to share one of his FSDS models with me so I could help learn the art of design and experience the joy of flying something I've made.-John

Thanks again>paulPaul,One of the very FIRST things you need to learn, is that GOOGLE is your best friend!http://google.com type in GMAX and this pops up immediately:http://www.turbosquid.com/gmaxFrom there you can download GMax v1.2, as well as the Help and Tutorial files.Also, if you have FS9, the entire program + help + tutorial files are on CD#1 in the extras folder...;)
