It's interesting to see Josh's work on the generic autopilot discussed. 
Thanks for all your hard work on this Josh, I remember some 
conversations with you a year or so ago around the same topic when 
building my custom AP interface.

 From an intermediate-user/interface design perspective I have some 
clarifying questions.

  * Will the generic autopilot eventually be part of FG without
    additional addons etc?
  * Will there be standard properties available that will control every
    aircraft (or do aircraft devs need to make changes to accommodate
    the generic autopilot?)

My hope would be that I can cobble together the generic .xml in/out for 
the generic and suddenly have access to many more aircraft using my 
interface because of the standards. At the moment it's time consuming to 
unpick individual property tree/interpretations/nasal to assemble the 
correct xml protocols for different aircraft. (I get it, all programmers 
will have different solutions if given the flexibility)

Chris
