You could attach the .kmz file to this thread, I could try my hand at it.

Okay. Here it is.

Edited:

It won't let me attach the kmz file, so here's a zip.

Arno Guerretson (FSDeveloper.com) has continued his development of MOdelConvertX which now reads the COllada format.

At least, if you create the Sketchup model yourself, you can export it as a collada file (.dae) and using the utility, you can convert it to 3DS

Here is a program that converts KMZ files directly to MDL format:

http://lc0277.nerim.net/wiki/index.php?software

And in my copy of SketchUp 7 it will export to 3DS.
So I have attached a .zip file with gmax 3ds and skp formats of the file.

Hope this helps!

Okay, I finally got the FSX MDL file using that. Now how do I get from the MDL to a BGL so I can use it with my scenery design program.

Ahhhhh!!!! So close!!! This is so frustrating!!!

There is a program called Library Creator XML that will do it.

~~I have that, but can it be used to convert MDL to BGL?~~

Just figured it out. I have the BGL file and I'm going to try it in ADE. Fingers crossed.
