Once you have learnt Gmax you will not go back.  Can look a bit duanting but it is amazing how easy it is to get to grips with. I have jst changed from FSDSv2 and fined it far better.

Hi Yall

I whent to the website http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax
I downloaded version 2.1. I dont know if thats the right one, or not. I have been reading the tutorials.

Sorry - I had thought that Windolight went through the install procedure. Once you have installed Gmax and activated, you need to download & install the FS2004 Gmax Gamepack SDK from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsi ... k.asp#gmax

Once youve done that, (you may as well get set up from the start) you can download MDLcommander which will give you an options screen on export which imho is essential!

I whent over to the website that you posted. I read through the the material there. So I downloaded Rwy12 Object Placer. Prtty kool. I also got FS2004 Gmax Gamepack SDK , and MDLcommander. This is going to take some time to learn, but I have stated the reading the tutorials on it.

Hi Batman - How are you getting on? Just to make everything clear ;)

Install Gmax => Install FS2004 Gmax SDK => Install MDL commander

Create your first object using http://www.windowlight.co.nz/simplebuilding.html tutorial, however rather than exporting as a BGL, export your object as an FS9 scenery MDL & place this mdl directly with Arno's ObplacerXML http://www.scenerydesign.org/forum/foru ... y.php?f=43

You may have done the above already, wasn't sure! If you need any more help just shout!
