Hello, Using Chrono vehicle model, I want to set the initial velocity of my vehicle to a given value using `SetInitFwdVel(double fwdVel)` , but the resulting velocity obtained through `truck.GetTractor().GetSpeed()` right after setting the initial velocity returns a value lower by approximately the ratio of the Chassis' mass over total mass of the truck (Chassis + Tires + ... ). I tried to circumvent the issue by scaling requested fwdVel by the ratio M_truck/M_chassis but I get a velocity slightly superior to what's requested. And anyway it doesn't seem a viable solution.
This can be seen for instance using the Kraz demo, or MAN XXt. What would be the way to set desired initial velocity ? Note: I'm on tag 8.0.0, maybe this issue has been fixed since then ?
