It's probably also time to remind people again of the possibility to
add Nasal code to model (animation) XML files. This is then only
run when the model is used as as a static scenery model or an MP
model, but not for the instance that you are actively flying on your
machine. Such code can evaluate generic properties and modify them,
and/or move them where they belong. In the MP case, cmdarg() can be
used to access the model's node under /ai/models/. Example:
<nasal>
<load>print("I was just loaded under ", cmdarg().getPath())</load>
<unload>print("Good Bye says ", cmdarg().getPath())</unload>
</nasal>
See $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/Models/bo105.xml for a real world example.
