How do you plan to make sure the airport layout is rotated and positioned accurately so that things like ILS equipment isn't off to one side or at the wrong angle to runways? If you're 10 meters off you're not going to be landing on the centerline anymore. How about a way to pick the points at the end of each runway and set them as ground control points which get tied to the values in the apt.dat file? It's easy to calculate the end points of the runways from the apt.dat data. Then the model get's rotated and stretched accordingly much like georeferencing imagery in the GIS world.
