Looking at getting into modelling for CFS3. I need to get Gmax for the SDK. Can not find it anywhere. Found where i can get the code needed but not Gmax itself. Any help ? Regards,Scott
 
Previously available through Turbosquid, but it seems they’ve removed the download from their site. The end of an era!

I’ll set up a download for you Scott, gimme a little time.
 
Hi Tom,

Could you please set up a Gmax download for me too? I'm going to need it for my DFS230 glider project.

Thanks,
Mike
 
Thanks Major, I had forgotten about FSAlpha. :wavey:

The page for download links to Gmax, its help files and the registration workaround is lacking all the labels, but the links work all the same. The top one (unlabelled) is for Gmax itself.

TurboSquid used to handle the registration necessary to get Gmax working, but the workaround bypasses that.

Gmax is really old software now and you might have some bother with Windows 10: save your work often! There is a thread on handy tips and setup advice in the Aircraft Design and Animation forum which I recommend, also Milton Shupe's excellent tutorial series.
 
Thanks Guys ! That did the trick. Now on the long journey of learning to model aircraft for CFS3. A long dream may come true one day. Regards,Scott
 
You might want to start with simple stuff, such as buildings, or even airbases. This should be around somewhere. "The Stupid Idiots' Guide to starting with gMax"
 
You really need to do the Gmax tutorials. They are not included in the base install you had to install them separately. I still have them in my install and I think I have the install files. It might take me a few days to find find them. I am on the road all week and don't have much time to dig through the back up drive

The tutorials would not teach you how to make planes. It will teach you how to use the gmax controls and how to manipulate polys.
 
Thanks Mick ! Most helpful as i'm just starting out with Gmax.Saved it to my favorites . Regards,Scott
