Hi David,

I converted a lot of EHAM, Amsterdam and Netherland buildings from
Sketchup files to FlightGear and placed them into the scenery.
But I also learned Gijs to fish himself :-)
Now he does it without any help, furthermore he put all what he learned
into the FlightGear wiki.

This is the first post and you will find detailed instruction how to
convert in one of my posts (replies):

Here is a later post of Gijs, he had already learned his lesson:

He is a 14 (15?) year old boy, so it might be not too difficult :-)

Regards
Georg EDDW
