Quote:is GMAX just as good as FSDS?
Unanswerable question - "as good as FSDS doing what?"
Quote:does is lack some things that GMAX has?
FSDS lacks many (most) of the powerful modelling tools that gamx has. However, unless you want to make super-detailed spiral staircases, FSDS3 is more than adequate.
There is problem creating certain effects (landable surfaces, etc., with the new FS2004) that gmax/3DSMAx can handle with the "attachtool" script. So, yes, there are differences.
is FSDS better or the same as GMAX?

FSDS (or any modelling program) also has a learning curve, although *I* find it easier (but I'm getting to the point where I can make funny things in gmax...)
In general, gmax is the more powerful modelling program. However, if you're creating objects to place them in scenery libraries and placing them with EZ-Scenery, you may actually find the overall process easier with FSDS3.
Good luck.
