If towers/beacons/windsocks are found in the data, then they will be stored internally in TaxiDraw. Currently only the beacons get displayed and can be moved, but this could easily be changed to include tower and windsocks as well. It's possible in the current version to export moved beacon locations to FlightGear's .stg file. This allows instant viewing of the change, with no need to rebuild the scenery. This could easily be extended to encompass tower and windsock positions as well. The problem is that TaxiDraw has no knowledge of ground elevation, so unless the airport is relatively flat the beacon/tower/windsock may end up either partially submerged or floating.
