Thera are a lot of strange things in view code. It is initialized here and
there. There is also problem with lat,lon positions. The code is too oriented
towards FDM position not to viewer position. It's not problem with current
view modes, but it could be problem with tower (or ground :) view.
I will try to rewrite the view code from scratch, but with some reuse of code
in next month. I want to get to code where you can specify as much as you
want of view modes.
<sim>
<views>
<view>
<type>pilot</type>
</view>
<view>
<type>chase</type>
<default>
<radius-m>25</radius-m>
</default>
</view>
<view>
<type>chase</type>
<default>
<radius-m>100</radius-m>
</default>
</view>
<view>
<type>ground</type>
<default>
<left-m>5</left-m>
<before-m>3</before-m>
<agl-m>2</agl-m>
</default>
</view>
</views>
</sim>
I don't know if it is above my programing skills :-(
