Hi,
I just placed on our website new version of CVA plugins which works well with new versions of FSDS. 
I changed the name of program to CVA Converter, because now it's standalone program which work's 
well also without instaled FSDS. It can read/write following 3D object formats: 

FSDS object (*.fsc) / import-export
FSDS part (*.fsp) / import-export
AutoCAD DXF (*.dxf) / import-export
LightWave (*.lwo) / import only
XML (*.xml) / import only
Wavefront (*.obj) / export only


Blurb from the CVA website.
This utility is converter of 3D objects which can work with folowing object formats: FS Design Studio object (*.fsc) - import/export, FS Design Studio part (*.fsp) - import/export, AutoCAD DXF (*.dxf) - import/export, LightWave 3D (*.lwo) - import, Wavefront (*.obj) - export. With this program You can make your 3D models in high-end modelers and FSDS use only for texturing and final export into FS or you can easily convert your model from FSDS into gMax. It's successor of CVA plugins, which works well with new versions of FSDS.

A nice feature is that you can see a wireframe preview of the model.

Note, that using this converter, you do NOT need FSDS to convert an fsc source file to dxf...
