I am unfamiliar with how YASim > provides positioning information to FlightGear. That location is easily configurable in YASim. So I'm not worried about that. It will just mean going in a fixing a few things. The c172 has been partially broken for months (a gear location or cg issue), but this might provide incentive for folks to clean their favorite models up.

If you look in the /sim/view property paths you'll see x,y,z offsets that express the camera position. These are offsets in meters from the lat,lon,alt position that is passed from JSBSim.
