  |I would prefer to init Nasal earlier in startup, because I would like use [[Aircraft Center|Canvas-based UI for pieces such as aircraft-selection]] - but right now we have to load Nasal in postInit, which is seconds and seconds into startup. Most Nasal things that need FDM state already wait on fdm-initialized, so in ''theory'' the only fix required is to skip <nasal> evaluation in 'animation' XML files (apparently there is a long-standing assumption that such elements are skipped when loading an aircraft as the main one, i.e they are only run for AI / MP aircraft - this is a bad situation but changing it now could be a serious compatibility problem)

I anyone wants to work on this, it would be a self-contained function in position-init code, just ask here for any questions. All the pieces certainly exist - the taxiways, parking locations and runways for the airport are all accessible.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/attachment/F69E014E-F15A-4EAB-B512-36B87CA3B2C5%40mac.com/1/|title= Aircraft positioning on the runway|author=James Turner |date=2013-11-12 10:32:27}}</ref>|James Turner}}
