The core part of TaxiDraw's project files gets written out in whichever
data format you originally loaded the data from - either X-Plane or
FlightGear.  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.
