The file at this link contains update to the preferences.xml and keyboard.xml
for use with the pilot offset dialog.  These are based on current cvs.

http://www.spiderbark.com/fgfs/pilotoffsetxmls.tar.gz

The preferences.xml contains the following xml to provide default settings, 
in chase view.  It also provides a place besides 0,0,0 for the "reset" button
to go to:

 <!-- pilot view -->
<view n="0">
  <desc>pilot view</desc>
</view>
<!-- chase view -->
<view n="1">
  <desc>chase view</desc>
  <default>
    <pilot-offset>
      <heading-deg>180.0</heading-deg>
      <pitch-deg>0</pitch-deg>
      <radius-m>25</radius-m>
    </pilot-offset>
  </default>
</view>

The keyboard.xml includes bindings for C/c (changing pitch up down) and 
R/r changing radius.  The keyboard bindings are good for quick changes of 
angle for doing things like taxiing off after landing (not that there's a 
747 following you in :-)).  

Also I'm wondering if while in chase view the numeric keypad should bind to
pilot-offset "heading" instead of goal-offset...since they do similar and in
some ways conflicting things...while in chase view.

Best,

Jim
