100% sure, no. But I do see that the origin of the .ac file is 4.7 meters 
behind the nose and that all x distances in the FDM are positive 
(indicating that the origin there is in front of the aircraft). I don't 
see any offset in any of the F80C files to account for that mismatch.

Note also that in the old version the FDM VRP is at the nose of the 
aircraft but the 3d-model is rendered with that point located 4.7 meters 
behind the nose. This means that if you use an aircraft centered view 
and don't have any external reference it will seem to rotate around a 
point 4.7 meters behind the nose (and the center of the view).

Cheers,

Anders
