i'm a 3d modeller and would like to make a few extra planes for CFS3, but have no idea how to export models from 3ds max 4 to CFS3...

is there a SDK or similar i need to do it? is there anywhere on the web that will give me all the info i need at one site?

also, what is the typical number of polygons allowed for a CFS3 aircraft?

(sorry if this has all been answered elsewhere in this forum)


lots of good stuff at www.avhistory.org too
Later!

YAYYYYYY! A B-17!!!! I'm still against modern jets >:( But if you want to defeat the realisim be my guest! ;D

P.S. I'm still PISSED at M$ for not putting a B-17 or Lanc in CFS3 I mean, How STUPID can you get?!? It's like Falcon 4.0 without an F-16!

hi again people

i've grabbed gmax and resigned myself to the fact that i have to do at least some of my work in it instead of all in max4 (having bought and paid for my rolls-royce, i resent having to drive the volkswagen) but am having trouble locating the "gamepak" for cfs 3 - varying info from the 'net includes:
1.) it's included with gmax (not in mine, its not)
2.) it's on the cfs3 cd's (not on mine, its not)
3.) you use the fs2002 gamepak (recipe for disaster, or at least a stonking good headache?)

any of you guys know for sure which is the real deal?

thanks for any help you can give and please bear with me, i'm a 3d modeller by occupation but this is the first time i've tried developing a model for a flight-sim

AirBrat: no Dr1. or camel (yet) but i have an eindekker and a fokker d-vii around somewhere that i could de-mothball at a later date (but i want to do the BoB aircraft first)

as far as fast jets in cfs3 is concerned, i reckon being shot down in multiplayer by some clown in an f-18 would cheese me off considerably, but i reckon i could out-turn almost any missile in a spit ix...

The CFS3 gamepack is a separate download available at
http://microsoftgamesinsider.com/CFSIns ... t.htm?nc=1
and is listening to the name "aircraft and Vehicle SDK" ;)
