Well, the aircraft flipping over was more poor piloting and lack of solid wingtips to limit the tipping. The front wheel steering is very abrupt, though, and the suspension seems a bit soft (but I don't know how the real aircraft behaved, of course). The VRP issue was something I noticed when adding the contact points. The aircraft is from FlightGear CVS. I've "verified" the relation between FDM gear positions and the 3d-model for the updated version by falling of the carrier forwards and backwards now - and the gear positions seem to match quite well now. There is certainly no 4.7 meter discrepancy there - could somebody test this with the old version in CVS?
