Awash, stick with it buddy, it's not easy, but it will come if you work at it.

3D design is something that very few people can do easily, we all have to learn the basics.

Think of it as building a wall, you must first lay the foundations before you can build upwards.

Perhaps try to set yourself an easier goal, just to start with. Try working through the tutorials included with FSDS2, they form an excellent basis to start from. You also have the help of all the board members here, who will do their best to help.

Take a break, and give it a red-hot-go!

It's true what Ric says. I never had a chance to design aircraft of my own until I first saw GMAX.

At first, it looked almost impossible to master until I went through the tutorials that I found in Freeflightdesign and the www.discreet.com website.

Regardless of all the help, I still had to endure more than a YEAR of self-training just see what special features a basic tool can have in GMAX. Then it took months of utilizing them into my first great design: The F-117A Have Blue (with a little help from others).

In conclussion, we all have to endure a long hard road in order to get to where we want to be. No matter what.

Besides, I heard that FSDS2 has more features than GMAX. I stick with GMAX because I am good at it now and used to it. If you switch to another design program just like that, you won't be able to cope with the changes.

Definitely stick with it, it isn't as hard as you may think... a pain in the @$$, yes... But it could be a lot worse.
