Can certainly be used for that, but it's not really meant to be
useful for anything but for looking nice. For specific needs it's
probably better to write a separate <view> entry and to copy
and modify the view.flyby container. The whole logic is in there.
BTW: this does also use the new "terrain-elevation" fgcommand,
to make sure the view position is never under terrain. :-)

The best way is probably to forget about those numbers, and to
address the view by name, for example via hash:
var view = {};
var nodes = props.globals.getNode("/sim").getChildren("view");
forindex (var i; nodes)
view[nodes[i].getNode("name").getValue()] = i;
setprop("/sim/current-view/view-number", view["Copilot View"]);
m.
