#1664 Manual view ordering

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: ahve...@gmail.com

Currently if you want to have overhead panel, for example, to have one click away from the cockpit view, you have to a) contact the developer and hope that they find that order useful too or b) change it yourself. Choise 'b' isn't a big issue with production planes but it can become a hassle with those in active development. Also it can be very comforting for players who just want to fly.

Is it possible to change the menu so one could manually create a custom view order, for example moving the items up and down the list?

Jules, a random feature request if you're ever re-working views. Feel free to mark as wont-fix still.

Thanks for this suggestion.

It should be possible to modify fgdata:Nasal/view.nas:stepView() to step through an alternative ordering of views.

I do have some long-term plans to re-work the view system, and i'll bear in mind this request when/if i get round to implementing them. But i don't think i'll be looking at this particular isuue on its own.
