You've talked before about forking, and that might not be a bad idea.
Right now, we're more-or-less targetting a 172R, but the 48

It looks like this may have helped crosswind handling on the ground
considerably. The relatively small amount of testing I've done shows
that the c172 will sit still in up to a 15 knot crosswind and turn very
slowly in 20 knots.
Let us know what you think.

I didn't look at everything, but the nose wheel was in NONE and the

Note a second problem with this code: it uses getDrPos (the actual
rudder position) and ignores maxSteerAngle from the config file. A
better option would probably be
SteerAngle = SteerGain*FCS-GetDrCmd()*maxSteerAngle*RADTODEG;
For RADTODEG, read DEGTORAD.

Here's an excerpt from FGLGear.cpp:
case bgNose:
SteerGain = -0.50;
BrakeFCoeff = rollingFCoeff;
break;
In other words, if gear belongs to bgNone, it gets
SteerGain=0.0, so

Use

These are consts from the FGJSBBase class. This is where
commonly used constants are being migrated to, instead of
#defines, which we are moving away from.

Is there some reasoning behind setting the steering gains according to
the brake selection? This makes no sense to me. It looks to me like
their needs to be a separate steering selection (or just specify the
gain in the config file).
Agreed. I beg your indulgence - let me have a look at
