center represents nose, tail, or center main. In JSBSim we specify whether or not the center gear has any brakes, so activating the center brake on the FlightGear side may have no actual effect on the aircraft. > Well, the 747 has five sets of wheels.

Since gear brakes are nominally applied with left or right pedals, I figure that it ought to be OK to put any gear that have brakes in either left or right side groups. The FCS could specify additional braking based on control laws, I guess. But I think our current approach ought to work. > Jon mentioned something about using the glass displays for a possible app?
