Hello!
Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to you guys. First, thanks for allowing me use this forum. It has a wealth of information and intent to tab into it; and of course get well “edumacated”
. I’ve been around flight sims all my life. My flight simulator user experience dates back to the early 80s. I guess I’m an aviation junky. I’ve been flying for over twenty years now, and have logged over five thousand hours in civilian jet airplanes like the Boeing 727, Embraer E-190, and now the A320. I’m also a member of the 56th Virtual Fighter Wing for a little over two years now, flying the Viper with OF 4.5. It is supper cool! My favorite addons for FS are the Level-D 767, PMDG products, FlightZone Scenery, and now the best military airplane for FS I’ve ever seen, the VRS F-18E among others.
Now I’ve somehow developed a great interest in the development of scenery and airplanes for flight sims. Specifically, for FS2004, FSX, and Falcon. I want to learn this pretty much on my own and as a hobby. My question is: What programs are the most popular and best to use for this stuff? Are there any courses available to take specifically for this kind of development? Where do I start?
I’ve been reading some good threats on this forum and have downloaded Gmax with the other programs that go with it, as shown on one of the tutorials. The only one I can’t find is the FS2004 game pack. As I understand it, Gmax without this, can’t communicate with FS. I’ve also been using Abacus FSDS but I understand now, this is not the choice of professionals. Anyways, thanks again guys. I hope to share some information with you all. Any advice and help will be greatly appreciated. See Yah!
