Leadwerks FBX import with correct normals?

Hi,

I have this issue since I use Leadwerks and it is really annoying. Maybe you know a solution. So I used this house model to show my problem.

This is my model in Blender (Shading mode set to flat)

This is how it looks if I export as FBX and import into Leadwerks:

To make it appear correctly I always have to recalculate the normals in Leadwerks, to make it appear flat. If I watch my exported fbx in a model viewer however it looks just like in blender. The same appears for the offical Blender Leadwerks exporter. I tried everything to make this work but nothing helps. Maybe you have ideas on this. I tried sharp edges, various export settings, auto smooth groups activated and deactivated...

It really destroys my workflow to recalculate normals every time! However, when I am not wrong I remember having models, which have correct normal data applied when imported to Leadwerks, so maybe its a problem with Blender, or am I missing some important settings?

Thanks for your input!
