Any suggestions of things that you would like to see in the plane?
Jezz! ,Neither I or any other designer said this, You must be real good
YES ..I would like to see ,any object in FSX,I would like you to export it a table a box anything as post a
shot
here , YOU DON'T NEED NOTHING NO MD 11 TECHNOLOGY from now, you need to learn how to make things work in FSX or FS9 ,if you open gmax you can make any object even my little 8 years old cousin does planes Model is a very simple thing to do , applying textures ,ANIMATIONS is not easy ,WE would like to see what have you learn
There's no tutorial for this ,if there is one It would be a tutorial as the size of a Bible book ,Neither FSX-SDK (fsxsdk.chm) Will help you ,For real Help you need to Be in the first place A humble person ,I do have learn a little by asking in Freeflight design Shop Thru all these Years , I still ask because I'm still a learner , People as Bill Leaming ,Chuck Jodry ,Bill Lions , Milton Shupe and even from N2056 the same one who told you here to be
Patience
, Those where /are my books ,my teachers and I'm very thanksfull to these guys, without these person I would never made anything Because even in Makemdl9 This is very hard ,there are many Variants , many details , and this is not a joke ..
Edited:
EDIT: I just check out your profile,I think I made a terrible mistake, I do understand you now,
your 12 years old
,I though you were Older About my age (44),and Is GOOD at such of young age want to learn , I'm willing to help you ,and I'm sure as many others, but calm down my friend..Open your Gmax and do one of the first most difficult thing you will find ,EXPORTING AS MDL try to export as I already said a Box from gmax and save it in a download it aircraft and rename with the same name this x plane has
(Do Not touch the default airplanes)
Let see if you have well set the Gmax (FSX_GMax) Properly first of all

Shadow, i would have to agree with Alrot on this one... you need to worry about the basics of basic first before you can even think about what you're going to offer as a final release
you have to understand that FS aircraft are projects that take MONTHS if not YEARS in development... and require utmost devotion, patience and commitment
but most important of all, you have to be humble... it took me years to get my first project ready... and i can safely say that even after that time, i still don't know everything... and, like everyone else, i'm still learning
the one thing you have to keep in mind is:
Don't assume you are good.
let me explain... it is a good thing to be confident, but too much confidence will make you pretentious, and a pretentious person can never learn
having said that, here's what i think you should do:
first, model a box. yes, a box... a simple 1x1x1 segmented box, with no textures
then try and see if you can export this box model into FS
if you succeed with the box, you'll know that from that box model, you can turn it into anything you want
but keep exporting upon every minor change, so you'll know what was the last thing you did if it starts not wanting to export
i had to learn this the hard way... there is a proper way of modeling if you want your model to export nicely, and making the entire model in Gmax before you ever attempt to export it is a huge mistake and can only lead to an interminable list of compiler errors that you will be very lucky if you can remove half of them
i don't mean to offend, or to bring unnecessary difficulties to your project... i'm just trying to point you in the right direction... you seem committed to your idea, and that's a nice first step, but you gotta master the basics before you go on to more advanced things
Cheers dude

Ok ya I get what you both mean (I guess I'm kind of anxious to start...). The only thing that is bugging me is: If I make the cube thing, without textures, wont it be invisible?
I like what you did with the screen shot lol
I'm not the best designer. . . meh I think I'm pretty good for 14 years old. . .

I didn't do anything with the screenshot I exported as MDL object and put it in the b727 model ,This is a real shot ,no tricks
Neither these ones

you already response yourself ,These letter doesn't have textures at all just the color of gmax ,but you need to have instaled FSX-Sp2 otherwise they would become not invisible ,they would become black if your aren't using sp2

What Gold edition?
I far I concern there are two FSX Deluxe and standard ,and standard does not have FSX-SDK ,so if you have a version with SDK included is Deluxe..
Or maybe I miss something here
