Any tips on how flightgear is used to control this beast would be gratefully received.

Hello Al, FG can use .3ds models but I don't know if textures are supported for this format. I've not got the tools to create textured .3ds stuff, it's just a geometry export option in my 3d package, so I've not been able to try it. The A-10 and TSR2 models are still in untextured .3ds format but they have basic animations so having a look at those and their corresponding animation files should give you some idea of what you need to do when you make your model.
