g-max Q

Postby Mr.Mike » Thu May 24, 2007 5:42 am

Which file holds the info for the 3-d drawings and how do I load it into g-max?  Yes, I'm new to this ha ha  I want to take an existing plane from fsx or 2004 and mess around with it.

Mr. Mike,

It is not possible to take an existing aircraft model and modify it. This is to protect someone from taking someone

There are, however, many other models out there that have never gotten used or have been given out for public domain use.  Go to www.freeflightdesign.com and check out there section of downloads.  Especially pay attention to Milton Shupe's stuff on there.  He's one of the greatest designers of Flight Sim aircraft out there, and he has released some of his cool stuff for learning tools.  You might also be interested in www.turbosquid.com, which has a large amount of gMax material to sift through.  Also remember that you can find converters for just about any media so that you aren't locked down by having to use crude or low-grade stuff that was specifically created in gMax.
