I've mdoeled the Maverick leader personal jet for a Client of mine & I would like to know how to make the transition from Gmax to fs X or FlightSim 10 as most of you know it.


Here is what I've done.

Nifty little plane you have there!  I really like the lines of it, and that tail setup is interesting (although those elevators look a tad small, don't you think?)!

From the looks of your gmax screen, it does not look as if you've installed the FS-X SDK from the FS-X Deluxe version DVD.  THis will be the first required step.

You will then have to donwload the SP1a SDK update, from the fsinsider.com site.

Are you creating animations?  All animations will have to be identified with the Animation Tool.

It's not as easy as it use to be...  Smiley

Thanks mate for the info.

No I don't have the sdk and I'm doing this for a client of mine I've been in to 3d modelling for about 3 years off and on.


and thanks I will see if he will lend me his Copy of FSX. I only have fs2002.



And to Locke. No the alerions and wings are not too small they're correct with the blueprint I'm using.


And thanks I gotta create 12 more planes.


By the way here is what I've been using for a blueprint since I can't find any real descent blueprints.

Alex, Thanks mate but I see I forgot something and from the looks of it that would be the little wings in front main wings LOL.

PS. the last 2 photo's are screen grabs from the site so they're not the finished model ( to settle any confusion )

Where did you get the blueprints mate? I've been looking all over the net for a good set.

I have www.suurland.com where I get mine at.

Well I've tried to download the spa1 and I did but when I went for the install and it said I needed the special Edition disk 1 what do I do now?

I only have the normal fs X.

Thou art out of luck.  As I mentioned earlier, the necessary SDK files come in the DELUXE version.

At this time you have two choices - buy and install FS-X deluxe, or complete your model as best you can and associate with someone who can do the animations, etc.
