Wow, that's perfect, exactly what I was hoping for !!! I made a small change in your proposed configuration to map the target-lat/lon/elevation path to /sim/input/click so the camera automatically stays fixed on anything you click on in the view. I discovered that you really want to have the aircraft on autopilot, or someone else flying with a proper view.
The capabilities and reconfigurability of FlightGear is amazing. (We aren't perfect, but it doesn't hurt to pat ourselves on the back every once in a while.) :-) Thanks again! Curt.
