Hello people!!!!

I will venture with Gmax , I`m a little scared I`ve designed in the past with other object designers with
good results
I see Gmax kinda complex , but I definitely need
new shapes

but I am an old fashioned guy and I need to make them in the form of APIs macros format.... well the question,
any easy - fast way to produce Gmax objects as `APIs`

thanks in advance

Can I ask why you want to keep using API's?

I have just moved from using FSDSv2 and FSSC to using GMAX, AFCAD2 and Object Placer and would not go back.

great objects man!  especially the last one  
see ,why?  many reasons  you are right it Gmax is intimidating  and it

 frame rates for todays pcs are not a drawback for using apis exept for Big Airports ..... and I can more or less design decent shapes with EOD  

In the end Gmax is much easier from a design point of view. God knows how you would make a hangar like Britt's HAS hangar in EoD but in Gmax its comparitively simple, you just need to know which buttons to press. (comparitively simple  :-X!)

Apart from anything else (and there are lots of other reasons for moving to Gmax/XML - its just better!) can you justify the effort you put into creating your airports/scenery in scasm only to have them unusable in the next FS?

[quote]and one of the most important thing is that the format produced by Gmax needs to be converted to.. xml ?  a process that backed me off a little

Thanks for the priceless help! , the links  will be very useful
moving to Gmax  and xml is inevitable hmmmm  hope to
get the hang of it soon

cheers!
