CFS3Aircraft vehicle and Building need Gmax but its win2K

[BOBC]

Hi,
Working my way through whats required to install CFS3, and in the patches sticky thread, which is CLOSED so I cant askl there.
It mentions GMAX required and gives a link. Click that and Turbosquid GMAX says win2000, well I am win7. We all are well beyond win2K now.

Oh dear...

Anyone know what happens next or is that it, end of the road, no aircraft vehicle and building ability ?

I have GMax installed in my Windows7 Pro and works fine.

As a rule for old programs I try not to install them in either the Program Files or Program Files (x86). I think GMax installs in its own folder anyways

Gmax works just fine in Windows 7, that's how I use it: TurboSquid haven't updated that web page in a long while. You also have to activate Gmax and can either get an activation code from TurboSquid or use the Gmax registration workaround at FSAlpha (http://www.fsalpha.com/gmax_tips/)

Once everything's up and running, visit the Design forum here at SOH for setting up Gmax (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?73237-Getting-Started-With-Gmax) for FS developing. Any other questions, yell!

Cheers, they must be losing a few clients by having gmax website so out of date.

Windows 2000/98 is the minimum spec for Gmax, not the actual requirements. And I would hate going back to 1024x768 display just to build CFS3 models.

Can't get Gmax to work: registration issues. How exactly does this workaround work? Should it be placed in a certain folder?

[hairyspin]

Right-click on each file of the unzipped workaround and Merge.

Do the files have to be in a specific folder? I assume you mean double left click? I get the 'Run' window but when I click 'Run' a window of text appears showing what is in the file. I start GMAX and it still asks for a registration code or exit. :dizzy:

OK, I could have sworn your post said 'install' instead of 'merge'. Anyway, I tried that too (right click, merge) and still no dice.
