Address Melchior's concern about view prediction depending on a particular

aircraft system, rather than "core" data.

Fix a long standing annoyance (for me anyway) when the fly-by-view is first
instantiated, it never put a point forward very far so the first transtion
came very quickly and abruptly.  Improve the forward prediction based on
ground speed and time when the view is reset (or switched to.)  I like this
a lot better personally.
