In src/Main/viewmgr.cxx I found:
setPilotXOffset_m(fgGetDouble("/sim/current-view/x-offset-m"));
setPilotYOffset_m(fgGetDouble("/sim/current-view/y-offset-m"));
setPilotZOffset_m(fgGetDouble("/sim/current-view/z-offset-m"));
This looks like it needs to be set in the global preferences file
though. I need a way to set the pilot view offset in the
<aircraft>-set.xml file (i.e. on a per aircraft basis.)
Then I also need a way to do a similar z offset for the 3d model of
the aircraf so it isn't half buried in the ground at startup.
Anyone have any ideas?
