So I started changing the lon/lat specification and moving the plane around that way. I gave up and went to bed.

In the default, the airplane at KSFO is situated right on the runway threshold. In looking at preferences.xml I can't understand how this was accomplished. Is there any other configuration file applicable to the default start-up or is everything in preferences.xml?
