Hello. I was interested on how simvation makes their airplanes. Is their a program they use, do they just find downloads? Someone please respond if they know how they make their planes. THANKS!

Wait, I'm not supposed to turn all of the engines off in mid-air?

Simviation doesn't make airplanes, they are a website that creators can post their aircraft on. Most airplanes are made by a creator or group and released on this website and others like it for others to enjoy. Most are made using FSDS or GMAX, both of which are fairly complicated programs to use for those of us without much CAD (computer aided drafting) experience or skills.

You can buy FSDSv3 from www.abacuspub.com. They always send me emails about upcoming sales, usually around major holidays. I suspect there will be an Easter sale. A sale gets you up to 40% of when you buy three titles. Hit their site and check it out...

Alrot, I thought you were another creator. I didn't realize there was any particular affiliation with simviation, other than being a member of this message board.

I think Alrot is having fun with you. He's not actually officially affiliated with the site, though he is almost a permanent fixture here in the forums. He sure is a great guy to have in your corner when it comes to making things.

As for making planes, it's a lot like sex after children. It's a long slow painful process that you have to do...

Your first step would be to go here:

http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax

and download Gmax. This will get you started, and depending on who you ask, is a much more comprehensive tool than FSDS (sorry Felix!). FSDS will be easier to learn, but it's not free and the tools are better in Gmax.

Also, I am moving this thread to the design forum, where you'll get much better answers for your question, from people who know a hell of a lot more than me... Cheesy

First of all, Of couse I'm not have anykind of afiliation with simv,It says so in my post Nº 6
second:Far from my intention to make fan of you davysim or any other member from simv
third: I though ,I wrotte first PAL, then I realize that was inapropiate and chance into a dude as a matter of a friend ,Not to offence (Like a Buddy)
There are words in this thread I wasn't and never specting ,the planes I have done mosly are done for the people from Simv In the first place ,and second for the rest of the world without specting money or anykind of retrubuition, the first post was a little joke that cost me a lot ,and I never been treated like this here before ..

I was going to say something earlier in this thread... you could see the language mix-up coming from a mile away... but I decided it was not my place.

I'll risk it now Tongue

Alex, trust me, there's nothing in this thread that's not in good fun. It's just the subtlety and nuance of the language difference. It can pile up and compound itself.. and next thing you know, a few posts later, feelings get hurt.

Any time you think someone is talking unkindly to you.. just PM me and I'll translate..

And if they ARE being nasty.. I'll help ya yell at them.. Grin
