I am new to making my own aircraft in FSX. Does anyone have any suggestions for a freeware item that will allow you to make,design your own fictional airplane? thanks

You can use a program called Gmax, its free and you can 'build' your own aircraft, or anything you want to make. :)

You can find Gmax and other handy stuff over at TurboSquid.com

For FS-X you WILL need the FS-X Deluxe version, because it has the basic SDK installation that you will need (and then update).

It aslo installs the gmax executables...  :)

There are only two ways to get the FSX SDK. Either buy a copy of the Deluxe edition or a copy of Acceleration...


I thought that the Acceleration only added the SDK update(s), but that you still needed FS-X Deluxe to do the initial SDK installation?

According to my source from a former ACES dev, there is a special version of SP1 that is supposed to install for those who only have the basic FSX Standard version...  :P

Ok, I do have acceleration sp2. Now what? I have gmax but I don't see how you make anything in it?
