You can use a program called Gmax, its free and you can 'build' your own aircraft, or anything you want to make.

For FS-X you WILL need the FS-X Deluxe version, because it has the basic SDK installation that you will need (and then update).

It aslo installs the gmax executables...

In that case, you're basically screwed over. Even the commercial program FSDS requires that you have the FSX SDK installed.

There are only two ways to get the FSX SDK. Either buy a copy of the Deluxe edition or a copy of Acceleration...

I thought that the Acceleration only added the SDK update(s), but that you still needed FS-X Deluxe to do the initial SDK installation?

According to my source from a former ACES dev, there is a special version of SP1 that is supposed to install for those who only have the basic FSX Standard version... Tongue
