Maybe I'm talking complete nonsense, but can't you simply take the FG model and convert it to a compatible format ?

The Space Shuttle modeling lives off the fact that NASA has made thousands of technical papers freely available, numerous of these resources have been used.
The various aspects of the modeling have been carried out by the following people:
Flight dynamics:
* based on various NASA technical papers by Thorsten Renk
Exterior 3d model:
* original taken from NASA under public domain, adapted from Herbert Wagner under GPL
* for this project, modified and extended by Richard Harrison, Wayne Bragg and japreja
Interior cockpit 3d model:
* original by Chris Kuhn
* adapted for this project by Richard Harrison with permission from Chris Kuhn
* photo textures based on the panoramas of Jon Brack http://www.jonbrack360.com/shuttle/
* animated and modified by Wayne Bragg
Effects and Shaders:
* few adapted from Herbert Wagner under GPL
* for this project extended by Thorsten Renk and Wayne Bragg
Systems modeling:
* based on the Space Shuttle Crew Operations Manual by Thorsten Renk
Sounds:
* adapted from Victor Slavutinsky for Vostok-1 under GPL by Herbert Wagner
* modified for this project by Thorsten Renk
Alternative MDU fonts:
* created by the SSU Team, adapted from Orbiter SSU project under LGPL
Carrier aircraft 3d model:
* Grupo FGBr, Martien van der Plas (SCA conversion), adapted by Jorge Pareja under GPL
which means I don't think I could use the 3d model assets in a commercial product.
However I assume it would be ok to use the 3D model as a reference when creating my own model asset for the flight deck?
