| The Stupid Idiots' Guide to starting with gMax
This is a work in progress. I'm trying to get this out to the community to fill a hole I see: gMax is so bloody hard when you first start playing with it that I think a lot of guys give up. I want to get those beginners started because of a theory of mine: More designers = more & better airplanes. So if you're a biginner to gMax, come on in for a visit!

| Gryphon Kneeboard. The aircraft kneeboard is a MS feature in CFS2. You can add data to it to be accessed in flight by either cutting and pasting or typing in information. The word and the text document in this tutorial provide information on how to install and use the kneeboard. The Zip file also includes some text file lists of CFS 2 areas of interest. You may cut and paste anything from one list to the other to customize your kneeboard to suit your flying needs. Gryphon is also developing similar lists for the China-Burma-India and Viet Nam Theaters. They will be added as they are completed.
