I don't know if you can. As you said in your question it is an MDL file. That means it is a sim object, not a scenery object. Scenery, static things, are BGL format. But maybe there is a way?

Static Nimitz

People are telling me to use the Nimitz carrier but don't tell me how. I want to use it for an ai airport carrier which I have already done using a default carrier (below) in the ADE library. Yes, it's a working airport. I know it's a small picture but I have four AI aircraft coming and going every fifteen minutes.

Perhaps I am missing something here, but if you have the .mdl file and then write a xml placement file you can use bglcomp to create a .bgl file (static object) where the xml file says you want it. My FSX model of the USS Saratoga (CV-3) came with a .bgl file for just off Honolulu and I provided a .mdl file and xml file so you could put it anywhere you want. It is saravx.zip at flightsim and simviation if you want to see what I did.

Best, Paul
