Ok, will do. At the moment I'm finishing up the last of the viewmgr work. Basically it takes the view/config data and ends up tieing data to a current-view folder (e.g. current-view/x-offset-m, current-view/heading-deg-offset). Right now we've got pieces kind of spread out, some in /sim/view (always in view[0] element regardless of the current view) and some in /sim/view/pilot...etc. When I get done the important current property values will be /sim/current-view/ and the "Pilot Offset" gui will work in all the views. This is where I propose binding information for the view such as the "internal" boolean (for internal cockpit model) and "near-plane-ground-level" which will be used by the new scene class. That should be done in today or tomorrow. Then I can do FGScene, which of course could have other configuration options, including default clipping planes, etc. Of course now that I think of it, I still need to look at the scenery/FGLocation relationship....haven't touched that yet.
