Jon, I forget, what exactly is the reason for defining a VRP in the config file? I thought that JSBSim already knew where the nose was.

We normally track:


- Initial empty weight CG
- Dynamic CG (includes fuel burnoff)
- landing gear ground contact points
- scrape points
- pilot eyepoint (for calculating pilot accels for motion base systems and instruments)


and now,

- the Visual Reference Point (tm)

The VRP is what is returned to JSBSim.cxx (FGJSBsim == FGInterface)

But, as discussed, this has not been given the final "push" into operations, yet.
