Very interesting free 3d airplane model sources

Found the Ju EF 132(free) at Surclaro for FS2 2002/FS 2004. Is there a way to covert this aircraft to CFS3 ? Are there any Luft '46 jet bombers coming out in the future ?
 
Model Converter X seems to work just fine with FS02/04 gMax models and FSDS2 models. The same seems to be true with AF99 for FS98 but have rarely messed with many of them and if you use one of them you will be putting some work into but if the model is good one it is well worth it.

Any gMax and FSDS2 model conveted back to FS02 or CFS2 you need to use MDLC and convert the model to a .bgl. This rips out the convertion code so Model Converter X can load it.

FSDS for FS98 seem to be vary mixed bad. Some times you get a model that loads fine. Other times you get a odd plane shaped object and other times nothing at all.

You can try your luck and see if you can get the FSDS for FS98 to load byconveting the model with MDLC. First converting the model to a .sca. (by use of /a) Than the .sca to a .bgl (by use of /m) than to a .mdk *FS02 model* (by use of /l) Change the .mdk to .mdl and see if Model Converter X will load it.

Shessi sent me the above and works for the AlphaSim B-26 but failed with an Ar234. Both are FSDS for FS98 aircraft. Note MDLC has to be used on Vista or older as MDLC is an 16bit program OR use DOXbox. I have used DOXbox to run MDLC on Win 7.
