/*
 * Camera.c
 * 
 * This plugin registers a new view with the sim that orbits the aircraft.  We do this by:
 * 
 * 1. Registering a hotkey to engage the view.
 * 2. Setting the view to external when we are engaged.
 * 3. Registering a new camera control funcioin that ends when a new view is picked.
