AFAIK, yes. The keyboard settings should eventually be organized hierarchically: 1. global keyboard.xml: defines stuff that matters to (almost) all aircrafts: (Esc->Quit; g/G->gear; f/F->flaps; ...) 2. category file: * prop machine (prop pitch/feather, mixture, carb. heat, ...) * jets/fighers (afterburner, ejection seat, parachute, hook, ...) * airliners (air condition, flush toilet, ...) 3. specific aircraft definitions So, the c172 would load the global file, the prop file and eventually add a few c172 extras. Advantage: don't bloat global file with completely useless stuff (afterburner in the wright flyer?), but still good consistency between different aircrafts of the same category. And, of course, special vehicles can still refuse the category file and/or override everything, if necessary. m. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
