I admit that this looks silly: why create properties that contain property paths, and not mark those properties with a flag right away, like with "archive" and "userarchive"? The reasons why I did it this way were: properties should be add-able from Nasal (setting property flags wasn't possible back then), introducing a new flag didn't seem desirable (simgear was still considered a generic library, much more than it seems to be nowadays), scanning the whole tree for just a few flags seemed undesirable, doing it in pure Nasal a quick and easy solution, and only very few aircraft needed it. Nowadays I'd probably go for proper flags. Ideally, their XML names shouldn't be hard-coded in simgear, but settable at initialization time. aircraft.data.add() could then be changed to just set that flag (props.Node.setAttribute(...)). m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
