I do agree with Innis.
in addition to, and order to modify a little he did say.
If your whishes are: using GMAX
In windows environment (is valuable with linux + wine too)
It is possible to convert from .gmax to .ac
You have to get a kit of several components which can be
downloaded from
http://www.simviation.com/fsdesign_gmax.htm
the following ziped file:
Gmax to FSDS2 file conversion Kit
This package gives several utilities and plugin which lead the work to
get a 3ds format.
that 3ds format can be easily imported in ac3d, blender or directly
used in FGFS
Don't forget:
You get a static model without gmax animations.
