Unfortunately the property system seemed to be not set up early enough to read in FGRenderer's constructor so we do a few calls of fgGetNode("/sim/composite_viewer", true)->getBoolValue() at runtime. Julian suspects they aren't called very frequently, in which case this branch (minus the diagnostics changes probably) might be ok to push to next at | Unfortunately the property system seemed to be not set up early enough to read in FGRenderer's constructor so we do a few calls of fgGetNode("/sim/composite_viewer", true)->getBoolValue() at runtime.
