Thank you for your input. I have made the revisions to the best of my ability.
When I tried the correct <chase-distance-m> setting, it caused the viewpoint
to be much too close to the aircraft. Instead, I used negative values for the
<z-offset-m> settings in the second and third views. Also, Models/787-8CO.ac
should be removed, as it was replaced with Models/787-8.ac.
