What if you have wind? Then, your aircraft is experiencing forces and
moments, yet the vehicle is not able to oppose the forces and moments if it is
stationary. You get an equilibrium drift.
Been there, tried it. Didn't work.
The way I am leaning is to model it similar to the way the Langley C++
sim does it. At low speeds, the XY plane gear forces are *made* to cause
the aircraft to follow a specified path and rate determined by the gear
characteristics and known turning radius. This means though that even a
tornadic wind would not move the aircraft
sideways.
