FSDS Pro is a low level CAD program made especially for FS modeling. It's very easy to build FS models with it and export them into FS2000 or FS2002. Start with the included tutorials. They're very good. You'll be producing simple model's in no time at all. The more you work with it, the more you'll love it. Users have written various advanced tutorials on different subjects. Check out www.freeflightdesign.com
Gmax on the other hand is a CAD program made for doing all kinds of game modeling. Not easy, it has a very steep learning curve. While it comes with basic "how to" tutorials, none of them are specific to FS modeling. The only offical documentation on how to export models into FS is in the MS SDK for Gmax. But it's only basic. Lots of users have written tutorials on Gmax also. Same address as above.
Hope that helps. :)
Cheers,
