How do I make add-ons?

[Deviant01]

ok prolly a stupid question but im a n3wB..   I want to learn how to create my own planes for FSX.  I looked on the utility page and got confused really fast.. If someone could tell me exactly what programs i need i can get them and start  but im just not sure wich ones will work for FSX and i dont want to spend the money to get them only to find out it wont work for FSX.  thx

if i tried to explain it your head would explode, but i can brush up on what you need. you need gmax version 1.2,

You need to get intimately familiar with what makes up a sim plane, its file structure, how it all ties together.

Start playing with Gmax. There are some great tutorials available. That should expose you to the learning curve..

In the mean time; try your hand at repainting too.
