That should not be necessary. The aircraft configuration file only needs to be consistent within itself. The structural frame is used for the location of engines, landing gear, empty-weight CG, etc. There is also a point called the visial reference point (typically the nose of the aircraft) that is defined as a known reference point for the 3D modeler. The 3D model need not have any particular coordinate frame origin, to the best of my recollection, though there is an offset that is specified in another file (the -set file?).
The point is, do NOT change the aircraft configuration file in order to place the aircraft in the scene properly.
