FlightGear can handle MS' MDL format, but you lose the animations.  To get the 
animations back you have to convert it to AC3D format and do a lot of CAD 
work on it.  

As for the flight dynamics, you'll have to make a new configuration file for 
this.  As a start you can just copy one from an existing aircraft (isn't 
there already a harrier in the base package?).
