Excellent. This bug has been annoying me for a long, long time.
I think the solution should be simpler, though. Right now, the
scene graph looks (from memory) like this:
Root/Eye -> Scenery Centroid -> Aircraft Origin -> Cockpit -> ...
So the local cockpit coordinates get double-transformed to the
centroid and back, losing precision in the process. That comes
out to roughly 1 part in a million at single precision, which
over a ~1km tile can be as much as a few millimeters, which is
several pixels of screen space in a small cockpit.
But the solution should be as simple as reorganizing the scene
graph:
Root/Eye -> Scenery Centroid -> scenery...
-> Aircraft Origin -> Cockpit -> ...
I wonder if your fix isn't more complicated than it needs to be.
