Now I don't know much about making scenery objects for FS but I thought this was interesting. Tom Gibson over at Cal Classics describes a program that can be used to convert objects made with Google Sketchup to where they can be used in FS.

Don't know about framerate hits or any of that stuff but thought it was interesting.

This, may lure me back into modeling.
Nice find and thanks for sharing the link.
