-Original Message- snip Interestingly enough, if I add a 7th node, the new view works and so does 'V'. Overwriting one of flightgear's default views must be unacceptable to some portion of the code. snip Not true. The only possiblilty would be view 0, the cockpit view, and it's relationship to the FDM altitude above ground level output and maybe something unique regarding rendering (OpenGL stuff), but even that I'm not sure of currently. Certainly you should be able to replace or eliminate any of the other views.

Hmmm ... This is one of the older bits of code that did one of these arrays of subsystem objects. I did it wrong and never got back to fix it. Counting and writing out the property would work fine. The only changes required would be within the init() in viewmgr.cxx. It'd be a week anyway before I could get to it myself.

I think it was either the joystick config or the keyboard config, but something assumes that number-views is 6, and breaks. I think the whole system needs an overhaul and like Mel says FG should just count the views. They don't even need to be numbered. Just have FG add them to a list as they are read in from the xml config files and assign them numbers then. That way you could have the default ones, then add an arbitrary number of personal ones, and after that an airplane designer can come along and add as many as he wants (co-pilot, BN, tail gunner, view of munitions, etc) without mucking up the already existing views that someone obviously wants to be there. I got around this in the B-29 by having a Nasal script modify the pilot view, but that is a hack. I should have been able to define multiple views without cannibalizing existing ones.
