you have to download gmax v1.2 (very complicated program) from www.discreet.com/products/gmax (follow instructions to get to download)

and there is also FSDS2 (purchase/download for $49.99USD) www.abacuspub.com

and there are also alot more programs but they are outdated and will not work for the new sims

also there is one more Aircraft Designer 2002 but if you make a plane in there you will not be able to upload to sites you want only to where the makers specified


(I dont remember the link to this one but you can find it in the aircraft Design pages on this site

good luck and have fun

To add to nwt's recap, checkout the thread:

Flightsim Design programs

Note that *at this time* the only totally free program/combination to making a flightsim plane is AD2002 - the LT version.  It has an improved interface and features, BUT the only support you are entitled to is the included tutorial...

with gmax - you still need the converter dll from FS2K2 Professional.
