FlightGear should be able to load .3ds and .ase model formats (and any
other format supported by plib.) David Megginson has actually built a
couple models for flightgear and he did a final conversion to ac3d.
I'm guessing that must have been because there were issues with the
plib 3ds/ase loaders???? David can probably answer that better than I
can.

It *should* use 3ds assigned names, but again, I've never tried this
myself.
