I have spent lots of time downloading aircraft from this site and I decided that I want to make my own aircraft. I have been looking around for aircraft design programes but I cant find any. Does anyone know any decent aircraft modelling programes or could could you please give me some advice!

Well i'm not a modeller either but i have Gmax and apparently that's te way to go, its free, so just do a google search and download it.

But to make the aircraft takes patience(something i'v never had) and it mite take a while to learn

cheers

If you have FS2004, you have gmax.  A full install would have put it on C:\gmax.  Otherwise, install it from the CD.

If you have FS2002 Pro Edition, you have gmax.  If you did a full install, then look for it in your FS2002 root folder, otherwise install from the CD.

Once installed from the CD, Go to the gmax folder to complete the installation.  Install the Help and Tutorials as well.  You will need them.

Have fun :-)

Or, if you've got thirty quid layin about, buy FSDSv2, cos that's much more user-friendly (well, from an FSDS user's point of veiw...).

... but you can customize gmax so that the same keys do the similar functions in gmax than they do in FuzzyDice ...
