what software do you use Dougs

[Dougs]

to build the aircraft i use ABACUS FS DESIGN STUDIO it's really buggy and a major pain to use but i havent found anything else it take's me a couple of months to build a plane from scratch but once you have parts built up like landing gear its alot quicker.

[Mayfly]

there brill well done, does that software do everything - even the paint scheme?

[Dougs]

no unfortunately thats one of the really hard bits you have to assign texture files to all parts of the model
e.g. one picture to cover the tail and another to cover the wings etc.

[Saracenman]

thanks to Dougs i now have said software - I'm playing with it at the moment

it looks pretty straightforward

I guess we can look forward to some interesting colour schemes on your fleet then?

does it work with FSX? website does not say

[Dougs]

yes the updated 3.5 version is supposed to work with fsx but i have found yet more bugs still trying to work arround to convert the planes i made in fs9 to fsx happy days

is there anywhere that i can get it for free?

[RLN]

Good stuff Dougs, but far too advanced for me.

[Dougs]

[Jigsaw]

[Xplumberlives]

is there anywhere that i can get it for free?

not legally ;)

do you know of anywhere that I can get it 'legally'?

That's going to involve lots of POCKET MONEY Tom!

[Tom.com]

no that was 'legally' not legally

[Xplumberlives]

no that was 'legally' not legally

'legally' = STOLEN !

[Tom.com]

no, just legally with quotations

[Xplumberlives]

So, you would like a copy but don't wish to pay the going rate?

[Tom.com]

I have little money atm

[Xplumberlives]

Ask your Dad for some paying jobs around the house!

[Tom.com]

it was £40-50!

[Xplumberlives]

so that would be about 8 washes of the car or similar tasks!

[Mayfly]

it's $50 = £30

not sure if you can get it as a download

[Dougs]

i would say that it is not worth £30 and if anyone knows of a better program i would love to know, as i really struggle with all the bugs this software has it is really dificult to produce anything out of the ordanry like the vulcan wing shape you have to make it out of lots and lots of bits

i have found a replacement for FSDS and best of all its free i am going to try GMAX i will post my atempts in a couple of weeks
