Just when I thought I had my arms around a great design tool ... Autodesk (Discreet ... whoever) yanks it from a future update, more specifically, support for it running on the fourthcoming Vista. I suppose I'll need to get all of the mileage I can on my current system to make sure I can still mold aircraft into shape well into the future...for now. I sure hope you all can make some real progress in this arena. There are tons (and I mean TONS) of developers out there in the FS community that use Gmax. <br> <br>Regards, <br> <br>Owenhttp://blogs.technet.com/torgo3000/archive/2005/10/07/412183.aspx#412194Sat, 08 Oct 2005 08:49:50 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:412194stevela&quot;Each package is good at some stuff.
