Erik didn't say file references, he said property references.

This is a property reference. If you are in your cockpit it will hide
all parts of the Spitfire not visible from the cockpit. Change this one
line to read:
<property>sim/current-view/view-number</property>
and the Spitfire should work properly. (Not tested, this is my read of
Erik's post.)

If the property list in the AI model uses starts with a "/" then the AI
model uses the main aircraft's property. The main aircraft is rooted at
"/" If the property does not start with a "/" then the model will use a
property under the AI tree... It's late for me... Does that make
sense?
