Is there a way to avoid duplicating this for the other axes?

I believe this is a constraint of the JSBSim accelerometer function. There are a few functions that allow XML variables to be passed so that you could accomplish something like this where the property is declared once:

                <x> <property> px4/imu/loc_x </property>  </x>
                <y> <property> px4/imu/loc_y </property>  </y>
                <z> <property> px4/imu/loc_z </property>  </z>

I dug into the backend of JSBSim (and tried a few combination of the above) and unfortunately the only input it accepts are numeric.

Ok, let's keep it as is then.
