[TYPO3-mvc] How to use FAL?

[bernd wilke]

I need to use FAL in tx_news but did not get it to work.

so tx_news is in MVC structure it does not use FAL (yet), but copies 
files to upload/tx_news.

As I need FAL to get images from an external imageserver I enhanced 
tx_news with additional FAL fields which should replace the existing 
fields to uploads/tx_news.

what is working:
in the BE an editor can insert files via FAL and the relations are 
stored to the DB. As these relations are visible on the next edit the 
information is stored.

for the FE I got no clue how to get these files to display.
I tried different approaches in myext/Classes/Domain/Model/News.php for 
function getAddImgs() (add_imgs should replace additional_images)

and all I get is (from fluid-debug):

      addImgs => 
TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReferenceprototypepersistent entity 
(uid=34, pid=781)
          fileRepository => 
TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\FileRepositorysingletonobjectsee above
          originalResource => NULL
          uid => 34 (integer)
          _localizedUid => 34 (integer)modified
          _languageUid => 0 (integer)modified
          pid => 781 (integer)
