I think it would be a good thing if aircraft designers started including select animations tied to /sim/model/pilot-visible-internal and /sim/model/pilot-visible-external with the appropriate conditions so that they each work in the appropriate views (/sim/current-view/config/from-model). That way a user could set the two properties in their preferences.xml to suit their own desires. This is an easy convention to follow, a lot of people seem to care about this, and it is also easy to retrofit existing models to follow it. In fact, I will volunteer to retrofit any existing models that the maintainers don't want to if people seem to like this idea. Of course we can't force model builders to follow a convention like this, but this is open source, and once most people start to follow it, I don't think there will be any objections to it becoming de riguer.
