Agreed. I'm the author of that comment. It'd be nice to get it out of the main loop, and the other fdm's are already handling this in their own way.
I agree. We will move this bit of code to the LaRCSim side w/ the next update (hopefully). For now, please leave things as they are ... in case we have trouble making this change.
