This depends on the (3D studio-)export settings and (S3D-)import settings. With the right combination of settings, no flip is needed.

On the flickering, are we talking Z-fighting here? Because some flicker issues can also be related to the texture minification and magnification filter that the GFX card is told to use (per material/texture). I've seen crazy flickerings just because of this myself. The next S3D will allow setting these parameters (per material).
