The radius parameter can go into the -set.xml, and the reasonable defaults could also be provided there for the /sim/aircraft-class. Then it looks like the essential function that the Liveries/*.xml files to is override some default values of properties, so it should be easy to implement this. I think I would like to settle on the property names as you proposed: /sim/dimensions/radius-m /sim/aircraft-class /sim/aircraft-operator (which has a slightly broader connotation than "airline"). In addition, I would propose adding a fourth property: /sim/dimentions/parkpos-offset-m As pointed out in the forum, aircraft don't always park correctly at the right location, so it would be desirable to specify an offset, which places the aircraft with the nose wheel at the parking. I'm awaiting furhter comments. I'll probably make a testcase by adding these properties to the 777-200ER (locally, just to test), and if there are no objections, I'll investigate if there is a way to automate the adding some reasonable default values of all our aircraft in the git repositories. (We have 519 -set.xml files, 821 Liveries/*.xml files). cheers, Durk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
