Great improvement!  One thing I noticed as soon as the c172 model went in was 
that the offsets affected every model that didn't have offsets defined in the 
aircraft-set.xml file, simply because they were included in the c172-set.xml
file that always gets processed by default, even if another aircraft is
selected.  Does this address that issue?  If I switch to a different model in
my command line will the offsets for the default model go away?

Another question that came to mind (and I apologize in advance if it's a
stupid one!):  Is it possible to eliminate the requirement of offset values
with models built for the base package distribution...ie can we convert all
the vertices in the *.ac files so that it isn't necessary to use them?

Best,

Jim
