Originally, I modified another view instead of adding a new one because I didn't want to have too many views. Someone on the list was kind enough to suggest the modifications, so I added them to my local preferences.

What about also increasing the number of views in the preferences file,
if you add some?

  <number-views type="int">7</number-views>

Interestingly enough, if I add a 7th node, the new view works and so does 'V'. Overwriting one of flightgear's default views must be unacceptable to some portion of the code. Adding the same view xml in preferences works just fine as the 7th view, thanks for the suggestion.

It seems there is a requirement to leave the first six views there, at least in this instance.

No idea, why we don't simply count the <view> nodes? Hmmm ...



My bad! I get flightgear-devel in digest form, and was copying from the web page. There is no new digest yet and I was trying to respond in a timely fashion without having to retype a lot or open mutliple browser windows. (The web interface is not as convenient as a newsreader or mail app unfortunately). I have an arm problem that makes keyboarding difficult, so I just click-shift-clicked the whole thing and then did paste quote.

I thought that whoever didn't want to read the thread would just ignore it.

I am sorry to have troubled you, I will try to be less verbose in quoting in the future.

I top posted because lee asked me to put my new text at the top or bottom, so I put it at the bottom as it was closer to the question I was answering. I prefer to answer in line as it involves less keyboarding/mouse movement and is easier on the arms.

Again, I apologize for the trouble.

Thanks very much!

Ima

Please stop the annoying full-quoting (and top-posting).
