In YASim, this is done by configuration convention.  The order of the
gear indices is the order in which they are presented in the file.
The problem with standard conventions, though, is that they only work
for standard aircraft.

The 747, for example, has five gear (nose, left outboard, left
inboard, right inboard, right outboard, I think).  The Harrier is even
weirder, it has a steerable nose wheel, a "main" wheel under the c.g.,
and two outriggers on the wingtips.
