OK - so how can I reuse an external RPM model to get their animations from 
different properties? I need this for quite a few instruments:
RPM, fuel qty, alternator amps, CHT, EGT, oil temp, Overboost indicator
doubling the xml files and replacing a string is not a big deal, but not a 
very elegant way I think.
