Then (and this is important) add the ship to the Englishnames.cfg file.

Unfortunately I only use Wings3d and not 3ds Max, so I don't know how to convert the models.

Thank you! Well, I have temporary access to Max and now even Maya (still learning, though), hence my question.

Then if you have a recent version of 3ds max you should be able to import .obj files, otherwise you will need the suitable plugin, a google search with "your 3ds version number + obj plugin" should do.
That's only for the modeling part, I don't know anything about adding new models in the game after you have your own new .dat file.

Great! Thank you, will try this ASAP!
