Flightgear uses the ac3d model format for objects such as buildings. To create a model, you will need one of two modelling packages. Either go directly to AC3D (http://www.ac3d.org) itself, or use Blender (http://www.blender.org) and then convert via a Python script (see below). AC3D seems to be a much easier program to learn, while still being very powerful. The downside is that you have to buy a licence to get more than 14 days use.
