Yes, the binary was too old. The *.mdl-loader is quite new. I just
uploaded the newest Windo$-binary, it should work now.

What compiler do you use? 

BTW, to get you started, here is a small snip from a post of mine on
the fgfs-list:
------------------
I had a look in flightsim.com for planes for fgfs. AFAIK, fgfs models
the Cessna 172, the X-15 and the Navion (which Navion, the Super
260?). The following files work with the newest plib from cvs:

file name          looks       legal status
x15mplay.zip       v.good        ?    
x15.zip            good-v.good   ?    

navonfs6.zip       good-ok       ?          
navion97.zip       v.good        ?        

c172-ast.zip       v.good       (1)        
n7572698.zip       v.good     Freeware(?)  
osu172jt.zip       v.good        ?          
----------------------

There are thousands of planes on www.flightsim.com.
The newer ones dont work so well, try the ones for fsfw95, for
example the Dolphin or the SE5. Currently, you have to input 
the texture path before you load a model. This should change VERY soon
:-). I will then send you a new exe as an E-Mail.

BTW, if you have a 3-button mouse, press the middle one and 
drag the mouse :-).
