sdk?

[Gman33]

I've installed sdk off my deluxe pack and can't figure out how to start the program, I'm new to this stuff, could anyone lend some help?

It isn't a program that you start. It's a set of instructions, explanations and tutorials on how to go about making models, scenery, etc. Most important is the gamepack that's needed to make Gmax work in an "FSX" mode.. and to let it export FSX usable models..

Edit : Poke around inside the SDK folder, and get a feel for it ..

aahh that explains it...(feel like an idiot). Thanx!!!
Now how do i get into the mission buider or scenery placement?
I haven't seen anywhere in fsx that will allow me to do that?
This is kind of like leading the blind is'nt it?

Oh, and you mentioned the gamepack to make gmax work on fsx.
Where do I find that? Because I do have gmax but haven't been able to open it in fsx. Hear that? Its my cane tapping in front of me!!!

your kind a little lost ..
Read my friend Read, first you need to have instaled Gmax and then you need to download & install the sdk-Sp2 , and place the FSX_GmaxGamePack inside the folder Gmax\gamepack ;you need to read the instructions..this has nothing to do with FSX ,you will use gmax to CREATE a 3 dimentional object like an airplane for example , open gmax then after you do a plane export ,but you need to read the instruction and learn this is  not easy
