It's up to you to do the same. And less clever users, which is most of the people out there, won't. I include myself in that category, since I have failed to make it work so far. I sometimes wonder if we really expect the average user to poke around in preferences.xml? But then, we have FGRun that does most of that for us. > > This is more or less consistent with Gene's, Csaba's and Ron's view - > I'm > > happy to set this all up, and more, in a separate GUI. > > "This" is not consistent with Gene's, Csaba's and Ron's view.

Csaba says: "For example, all the GUI stuff should be thrown out and left to a launcher/control console application." Gene says: "All the functionality in the GUI could be provided in a stand-alone tool that talked to the simulator." Ron says that he supports Csaba. I said: "I'm happy to set this all up, and more, in a separate GUI." How is my view inconsistent?
