Gmax is a product of DISCREET and can be found at their site www.discreet.com
you will also find some tutorials as well here.
You will also need the gamepacks for the sim you plan on building for As there are seperate ones for each sim
FS2004 gamepack
FS2002 gamepack
And so forth
You will also need the SDK,S(software development kits) for the sim as well you will need the bgl compiller in the SCENERY SDK
Word of caution if you have no experience using 3d grafics program GMAX might be hard to learn how to use.
It is a great program it is just not the easiest to learn how to use for a beginner.

Reading the Aircraft and 3D Design FAQ posting at the head of this board wouldn't hurt, either.

SCroll down for the "gmax Gamepack SDK".

Note that I linked to the page, rather than the specific gamepack because there's a lot more interesting stuff to download and read.

For the aircraft modeller:
required readings
gmax Gamepack SDK
Make Model SDK
Aircraft Container SDK

Optional Readings
FSEdit SDK
Special Effects SDK

If you want to progress to creating panels and gauges:
Panels and Gauges SDK
