In JSBSim, for a 747, we would associate both left main gear with the
left brake input, etc.


Let's not forget that the higher end equipment also has stuff like anti-skid
systems which determine when/where and how the brakes are applied. So that
for a 747 on rollout for a CAT III landing. the localizer signal is used to
maintain runway centerline with a combination of nose wheel steering and
braking on the four main gear bogies each with multiple wheels, each tire
with it's own anti-skid system. It gets very complicated, very quickly...


Perhaps Jim Brennan can add some input on the 747 systems


This is where I've considered that we might want to use our FCS capabilities to control the brakes in a more realistic manner. I just haven't had time to try it out.
