Before the pilot and chase were different than each other (or seemed that way). Prior to knowing anything about using plib or Opengl, I always assumed as a user that x was across the screen, y was up and down and z was depth. That is I think most intuitive to the xml user, and the fact that it doesn't coincide what's going on in the viewer black box is not important. Anyway, it is in my change log entry, documented in the source, and all my proposal stuff ;-) > I cannot figure out why this is happening.
