Syestem Developer Kit?  I think, something like that, I think it has to do with developing add-ons, or something or another. ???

Kevin, the SDK can be found on disk 1. All you have to do is go to "my computer", right click on the DVD drive icon and click "explore". There is a folder called SDK, in it is an installer that will install the SDK.

I don't know what you can do with it yet, I haven't really had time to look it over. I'm not a developer anyway. ;)

Well why didn't they just put it in the main folder?  ::)

Warning - *AT THIS TIME* other than panels and gauges, to create actual real FS-X objects (i.e., airyplanes, animated scenery, etc), you need 3DSMAx 7/8.  Although gmax comes with the SDK, the FSMDLexp.dll with it is the same FS9.

gmax scripts will be available later (basically, discreet didn't allow Microsoft to change the gmax scripts until too late for release.)

So correct me if i'm wrong but the SDK that comes with the FSX Deluxe is for 3DS Max 8? Can someone post a list of things that actually come with the SDK i would be very grateful. Thanks.

Since *I* view the SDKs from the aircraft modelling aspect, I forget that there's other goodies involved.
