I tried that once, and found that it caused problems. I think it was either the joystick config or the keyboard config, but something assumes that number-views is 6, and breaks. I think the whole system needs an overhaul and like Mel says FG should just count the views. They don't even need to be numbered. Just have FG add them to a list as they are read in from the xml config files and assign them numbers then. That way you could have the default ones, then add an arbitrary number of personal ones, and after that an airplane designer can come along and add as many as he wants (co-pilot, BN, tail gunner, view of munitions, etc) without mucking up the already existing views that someone obviously wants to be there. I got around this in the B-29 by having a Nasal script modify the pilot view, but that is a hack. I should have been able to define multiple views without cannibalizing existing ones.
