Just to start, the property tree has nothing to do with Metakit -- we
use Metakit only to hold airport and navaid data.
<path >Aircraft/c172/Panels/c172-vfr-panel.xml</ path>
This tells FlightGear where it can find the configuration information for the
aircraft. It is the same as using the '--aircraft-dir=' option.
Actually, this is the path to the default instrument panel.
--aircraft-dir is a special option used only by UIUC.
Thanks for starting on this -- it's much needed.
All the best,
David
