aha the million dollar question  ;D

the main thing is cutting windows, in FSDS it is extremely laborious, whereas in gmax you can use what is called a boolean to cut the windows.

I use fsds, but in a way i kind of wish i used gmax because it is a 'springboard' onto bigger and better things, and more complex design.

I use FSDS as well, although I am trying to learn G-max right now.

An advantage I found so far with G-max is that there are many tools and converters available for G-max , and you can save the 3-d models you create into many different formats.

There is an absolute avalanche of tools and info etc available for Gmax.

However I think FSDS is excellent for flight sim models, and I'm not thinking of giving it up just yet.

Is there stuff u can do in gmax that u cant in fsds?

You can create aircraft for CFS 3
