It is unlikely that this will be an OpenFlight format or recognizable
even if the model were built in MultiGen.

The first thing a game developer will do with the output from the tool
is throw a lot of the redundant information away and convert to some
simple efficient game engine specific representation. In other words
you'd be a long way away from improving the game models even if you had
a copy of MultiGen, GameGen or Creator. You'd likely need some MPS
custom conversion code and knowledge of what their process could cope
with in the conversion and the game engine.
