Gmax is dead

[Travis]

Microsoft has nothing to do with gmax - this is a discreet/Autodesk product.

That's right, I forgot.  I didn't remember that you could make CFS3 aircraft with Gmax, as well.

Well, it seems that the late version of the Gmax installation package can't be found. However, I still have FS2k2 Pro [original discs].

yep CFS3 models come from gmax also, i got the cfs3 gamepack installed, but barely used... cfs3 is kinda akward (in my opinion) in some aspects. would be nice a plattform more "FS9able"

*and keep thinking if "FS9able" is an akward word, rubbing the chin, one eyebrow high, looking up...

gmax 1.2 should be in your FS9 disc 4 "extras"

Don't use that tombstone just yet. Gmax is still available in the FS2k2 pro and FS9 discs. I have also uploaded the Gmax crack. I think it's in the utilities section.

I have my original FS2002Pro disks. Is gmax on these (not that I can use it...)? I have FSDS and can't figure that out to save my sorry mule.

Iv'e been thinking about this, Could it be a possibillity that the pawyare flightsim companys were not donateing to Discreet-Autodesk, because G-max is a free game developer software and payware compaines were makeing a profit of makeing airplanes-scenery and selling it. And those Flightsim companies never donated to Discreet-Autodesk and they decided that they would not contiue the development of new versions of G-max -updates, So they didn't want the flightsim companies to make money off of it? Im not saying they haven't. Does anybody else agree with me?

Yes I will miss G-max alot, I still have it running on my computer tho

To add to Katahu's comments:

#1 - AT THIS TIME - Autodesk has announced that the *availability*  of gmax to be downloaded (officially from the turbosquid site) is being continued past it's announced Nov.1 "deadline".


WHAT IS UNKNOWN - is whether game developers will receive a final "unlimited" license to develop their plug-ins.

For flightsimmers -
gmax 1.2 is available in the FS2004 discs.  You still need to download the SDKs  (see the Aircraft Design FAQ).

Plus:

Turbosquid is still providing the registration service. The Crack that is posted in SimV is used only as a workaround in case you have trouble receiving the registration code from Turbosquid.
