It would seem easy enough for you to answer your question by re-read the EULA again for yourself.

That would be the register patch and it can be found here: http://www.fsalpha.com/gmax_fs/zip/AutoDesk_GMax.zip

Hello im new to makeing planes could someone help me or point me in the right direction . i need help with shapeing my design like shapeing the nose and makeing engines things like that. im useing gmax .

You people -those who are new to it- should try some projects that are considered a waste of time. For example, I modeled a simple box and made a series of tweaks in it [cutting, slicing, beveling, bending, etc.]. It may have been a waste of time, but it gave me ideas on how to do modify certain objects for a real project. That's how I ended up making nice-looking cars for FS.

But still, reading the tuts is a must. And you have to read them more than once and try them more than once so that you can lock that info into your head. I have read so many tuts and read them so many times, I might make my own mass tutorial on modeling techniques and how to solve unexpected problems that are not mentioned in tutorials.

gmax 1.2 is the latest version downloadable from discreets' site http://www.discreet.com , or, as you've noted, from CD-1 of FS2004.   To actually create the flyable mdl file, you need the FSexport.dll that comes only [B]in the FS2002 professional edition[/B].  (so does makemdl.exe, but you can get makemdl.exe from the Microsoft SDKs.)

Basically, Microsoft has not yet released a stand alone FSExport.dle for FS2004.[/quote]

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here, but to clarify:

FS2002 Pro included the SDK to convert the gmax file to scnery and aircraft models.

FS2002 Standard did not.

FS2004 came in only one "flavor", and the SDK was released separately.  In essence, Microsoft DID release the tools for FS2004 sepearately.  [url=http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=32]FS2004 GMAX SDK[/url]

I'm using Autodesk 3ds max 2010, not registerd, but I can't save any .mdl files, do I need to register first? I can only safe files as .max or .chr (characters). I hope someone can help me with this, I really want to creat my own [i]flyable[/i] aircrafts with Gmax  :-?[/quote]

The existing tools (FSX and FS2004) do not work (directly) with Max 2010.   You would have to create your model, export as 3DS to gmax, and finish off there.

Yes... you can do a model using Autocad... but take care with the file size... and after you will need to export and add the correct names to all moving parts.
