GMax is free, is supported with export tools from the FS SDKs, and is available here:

http://turbosquid.com/gmax

But, none of the available programs are "easy..."

I've been using Max and GMax for nearly twelve years and I'm still learning...  ;D

Uhhh . . . please don't ask Alex to help.  He's already gotten a little miffed at a bunch of other people for that.

Instead of starting with some VERY LARGE and complex aircraft such as the ones you mentioned above, why not start with something simple.  You'll be surprised at just how hard it is to get the whole thing accomplished when you begin.  Heck, I've been working at it for 6 years and have only released two aircraft, of which only one is really any good at all.  And both of those were very small aircraft.

Don't get in a sure-fire hurry.  It takes time a large amount of patience.  Try not to get flustered when things don't go the way you absolutely want them to.  Remember that hundreds of people have done this before.  If they can, you can.  Just follow the instructions and ask questions.

As Travis pointed out in your other topic you will get a better response if you can use proper English spelling & punctuation.

I made the Angel 44, found on this page, third from the bottom.  There are also several repaints in the following pages, and instructions on how to turbocharge it with the Gorkha repaint.

We'll all be here to help you with whatever questions you have.

Okay, well, I got confused and a little dizzy after the first sentence.  It really is much easier if you use sentence structure correctly, or even just a little bit.

Rest assured that you won't EVER get anywhere on this forum if we can't understand you.  And when you get into the deeper elements of design, then you really will be lost if you can't make yourself understood.

Images can really help, as well.  Pick up IRFanView and start taking screenshots of what you need help with.  Just make sure you follow the guidelines listed for screenies found on the upload page.

I am keen to help you with your project, but I need to be able to understand you to do that. ;)
