Hi, Dimitris:

I wasn't sure what the answer would be, so had to think about this one for a
minute. The answer is, no, that would not be possible. Some of the items may
be accessible to be set programmatically. However, the aerodynamic
functions, propulsion elements, and the flight control components are
instantiated as they are found in the config file. There is no way to
instantiate those through function calls and load them - at this time,
anyhow.
