Unanswerable question - "as good as FSDS doing what?"

does is lack some things that GMAX has?

FSDS lacks many (most) of the powerful modelling tools that gamx has.  However, unless you want to make super-detailed spiral staircases, FSDS3 is more than adequate.

There is problem creating certain effects (landable surfaces, etc., with the new FS2004) that gmax/3DSMAx can handle with the "attachtool" script.  So, yes, there are differences.

FSDSv3 is easier to learn but less powerful than Gmax.
Gmax is more powerful but harder to learn than FSDSv3.

In an ideal world there would be a system that is as easy as FSDSv3 and as powerful as Gmax, but so far it hasn't happened.
