FOA, I think VRML is the answer to your question (??),
not neccesarily in FlightGear.
Besdies, I do no underdtand if you refer the difficulties
in rendering, or modeling.
For instance, you can download GMAX for free (from Discreet's site),
which is a freeware modeler based on 3D studio MAX.
Moreover, PLIB has the ability to load 3D scenes of
a reasonable amount of formats.
All the best,
