OK, then this is definitely a different issue than the one I was
interpreting.  I had more of a picture of "accelerate to 200kts, then
apply full back stick".

I'll try this when I get home.  Unfortunately, I'm currently without
scenery after a drive swap a while back and the ftp server is offline.
Is it possible you could make the relevant tilesets (w100n30 and
w90n30, I think) available somewhere else?

Not as such.  You could try adding the following (untested) lines to
Model.cpp as a debugging aid.  The first N indices are the actual
landing gear, in the order they appear in the xml file.  After that,
though, the "gear" objects are automatically generated contact points,
which can only be defined in terms of their location on the airframe.
They don't have useful names like "tail" or "left wingtip".

It would be good to agree on a specification for FDM reporting of gear
forces and positions.  Then the existing landing report could be
implemented outside the FDMs and work for all of them.
