Agreed.  It looks great.  The offset problem is almost certainly due
to a difference in coordinate conventions.  The YASim files all have
the origin at the tip of the nose; the aircraft models don't all
follow that rule.  There's really no reason to pick one convention
over another, so long as we are consistent.

I gave it a test run, and it looks great!

The only things I noticed that need fixing are the offset to get the
model sitting on the ground correctly and there's a reference to a
missing 747 panel in 747-yasim-set.xml.

Other than that, I'm very impressed.  Nice work.  :-)
