Adding the VRP is yet another mechanism, basically a direct analog of the view offset stuff on the FDM side. I just don't see the need. If we decide the VRP is the right way to do it, we should chuck the view offset stuff for simplicity and orthogonality.

Can the view offset or rendering code (whatever it is that draws the 3D aircraft models) move the origin of the set of vertices that defines the model per-frame so that the CG aligns with that reported by the FDM? But then, the FDM still has to report where the FDM is in a common reference frame. The 3D model and the FDM don't really know that much about each other - it's dort of open-loop. It's not clear to me how you are proposing that the 3D modeling code would know how to exactly interpret what the FDM is telling it - apart from there being a convention such as the VRP.
