[BIG_BIRD]

Is there a way to create new aircraft for FS2004 yet? Ifso what tools do I need? thank you.

Hi - the same 2 major tools for aircraft creation FSDS2 & Gmax are compatible with FS2004.

More info here

& on another note a press release received today:

########################
Herve Devred and I let us have the pleasure to announce the release of Aircraft Designer 2002 v1.2 FREEWARE.
This completely functional version is intended for FS2002 / CFS2 and probably FS2004 and it has been uploaded on your site from a short time. Name of the file actad2k2.zip.
########################

So another option on the immediate horizon.

That is good news, 'cos I can't get my head around gmax, and I've got a couple of planes I'd like to make

Cheers for the info Pete

Can you provide a direct link to the site? Pleeeeeeease!!!!!!!

I may have mastered more then half of Gmax, but I'll try it out. Once I get it, I'll keep it. Who knows when I might need it.

Does this program support all the fancy shiny textures?

[Felix/FFDS]

AD2002 does not - that I've seen - support the reflective textures.

AD2002, when compared to gmax and FSDS is a different approach to building the planes.  For one, it does not support backdrop images.  However, that does not stop a good modeller.  Mike Stone's first releases for FS2000 were made with AD2000.
