Also, one of the reasons the viewer uses these property tags is you can
customize the views per aircraft, depending on what the FDMs output. So if in
the FDM specific *uiuc-set.xml files you put something like:
<sim>
<view n=1>
<eye-heading-deg-path>/orientation/gamma-horiz-deg</eye-heading-deg-path>
</view>
</sim>
It'll work that way for specific aircraft under that FDM. It might not be
helpful to reorder all the views with a particular aircraft, but something
like that would probably be fine.
Best,
Jim
