The latest version of the ground network was modeled very closely after the 
real KSFO airport layout. However, there are some issues that need careful 
reevaluation. Since we use different methods for placing buildings and parking 
places, the fact that some simplifications exist in the building models, and 
the fact that there is some variation in the sizes and center point of the AI 
models all weight in to create some inaccuracy in the placement of AI models 
with respect to the buildings. 

Ideally, I need to go through this ground network once more and do some fine 
adjustment. 

Cheers,
Durk
