Thanks for all the input on this. It helped get us going. The properties
structure is pretty neat!
If few questions (probably too many):
[1] Does it sense to define and set our properties inside LaRCsim.cxx and
not further down in the uiuc_ code? Does it matter? I can certainly
envision cases where we will want to set properties inside our uiuc_ code.
If we do add the myriad properties for many aircraft configuration types to
LaRCsim.cxx it means adding lots of code I think.
[2] Where should we put the sound files. Right now the files are in
~fbfsbase/Sounds. But different aircraft will have different
sounds. Should these sound files go in the respective ~fgfsbase/Aircraft
directories?
[3] The properties structure is pretty general. It seems like it would be
pretty easy to trample over someone else's property definitions and/or make
poor/improper usage of them? Is there a standard list of reserved properties?

Michael
