Gérard has taken some [http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/3d_resources/models.html NASA 3D models] and prepared them for use with FlightGear. The historic [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Space_Center_Launch_Complex_39 Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39] 3D model has been prepared, as well as the [http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/constellation/ares/aresl/index.html Ares-1 launch vehicle] 3D model.
