Which is the best free software for aircraft design ?!
Thanks.
Gmax is freeware & the little brother of 3DS Max which, as I understand it, is a very expensive professional application. Unless there's something they're not telling me I could never understand
a) what advantage this has if all the tutes & plug-ins are based on Gmax. Surely this just makes the whole thing even more difficult.

b) If people complain about spending out $50 on FSDS2 why would they recommend an alternative costing something like $3,500 for 3DS Max?

I would assume that those recommending 3DS Max for creating FS addons have an older version of the software, are using it illegally or use it for their work, in which case they're familiar with 3D modelling & already know how to use it.
Hager,
It sounds as though you are saying that all the tutorials and plug-ins for 3DMax are based on Gmax. Would this be correct?
Keep in mind its late here and I am tired so I could be reading it the wrong way.![]()

If I could find some kind of book on what everything does it might help. But it also might confuse the issue even more.
I'm not trying to start an argument here. I don't deny that 3DS Max is a powerful tool (as is Gmax) but Go0se specified free software. In this case Gmax is the only practical option - depending on which sim this is for. If he has FS98 thru FS2000 it will be no use at all.
This is very creditable & much the same as I've tried to do myself for a long time now. Maybe I was one of those people who helped you in the past.
Hagar, I didn't take it that you were aiming for an argument on the subject at hand. Sorry if I made it seem this was your intent.
If indeed FS98 through FS2000 are the flight sims being used AD2000 LT would have been the choice at hand. It appears though that A.T.C. Publishing is closed. Game Over it claims. I wonder if Herve uploaded AD2000 to another location?
Mathias, Did you create those gauges/cockpit objects?
Amazing!
The future of VC's!
