Which program are you using for designing planes and other stuff? I have seen in another game forums that people use 3d-max.

3dsmax was the beginning of the next wave of design programs after GMAX. Its like GMAX on steroids. As for compatibility, CFS2 was left behind at GMAX and FSDS 2.25 -- no direct backwards compatibilty. However, there may be a way to import a 3dsmax design into GMAX for conversion to CFS2 format. Others may have more to say on that...
 
Bearcat is on it.

Basically, if you can design for FS2002 or FS2004, the model files can be converted with expertise here in this forum for CFS2.

I would recommend simply to use the free gmax product or Payware FSDS.

However, if you can get the earlier payware FSDS product, it does support CFS2 and will deliver a CFS2 model output.

If I understand correctly, you can use Gmax for building CFS2 models, but not 3dmax. Where can I find freeware Gmax? The site I try to download don´t end the download, neither gives the file size.

To be more accurate, gmax can be used to build FS2002 and FS2004 models. Then the .mdl file can be converted to CFS2 with a program like MDLC.

You may be better to get the FSDS2 older version that can output a .mdl file directly to CFS2.
