• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Aircraft Model Question

ok, ive been searching for a good global express for 6 years now waiting for one to come out..finally theres an Awsome AI model for the global, BUT, its AI....Theres got to be a way to modify it to add opening doors and moving control surfaces....right? Cant i load the model into GMAX somehow and add stuff on to the model? Or maybe make a new model from scratch copying all the demensions and such to have a full working aircraft model??? The AI version is perfect, ive finally found what ive been looking for and just my luck, nothing moves on it...ughh, there got to be a way to make a good global out of this....any ideas?? on a side note, how exactly does gmax work??? Is it like a CAD sort of thing where you basicly draw out the airplane?? pardon my ignorance...just never dove into design, but now im forced to make my own I guess..lol...thanks!
 
No, you can't. After a model is compiled, it's done. You would need to get the source file from the original author.

By the way, a very nice Global Express XLS is currently under development for FSX by Eaglesoft Development Group.
 
seriously??? ESDG is finally making a payware quality global express??? If they come out with a global thats the same quality and detail of the Citation X, That alone would force me to make the jump to FSX. Is there a link where I can read about it? have they made a formal announcement? I want pics...lol

Thanks for the help guys, I'll probably just get my G IV Repainted to hold me over until something comes out?
 
Err...didn't Richie Schwertfeger do a very nice flyable Global Express for FSX?

It's on Avsim.
 
I guess im just looking for a very good detailed model...eaglesoft citation x quality as far as external accuracy and appearance. Ive got a decent gulfstream, but you can see the ground through the "virtual cocpit", no gauges....cant even see the wings from the inside of the airplane, cheesy IMO

I'm quite sure that the guys at ESDG will try to make the Global Express at least as good as the Citation X. But who knows... maybe all that success has gone to their heads and they're slacking off.

Yes, Richie and I worked on that one... Well, actually did most of the actual work, I mostly did consulting and some minor XML magic for him. :D

It's been three years since development began, but just like fine wine, it takes quite awhile to age properly... :laughing:

It does not exist. It never has existed. You have never heard of it. In the previous post, it was <FLASHED> from all your memory cells!

I should think my signature block should be self-explanatory... :duck:

I'm the chief modeler setter-upper and gopher for the non-existent Global Express project... :ziplip:
 
lol alright, now I feel like a dead head...i really should read signatures more often....so there IS a global project in development *wink *wink, thats good enough for me ;) any idea if/when it will be formally announced? sorry, just getting ahead of myself i guess..lol
