Most equipment I'm familiar with have the brakes on the mains.
Well, the 747 has five sets of wheels. Should there be a convention all can use? I might suggest nose - 0 left- 1 right - 2 left_rear - 3 right_rear - 4 for gear numbering and since there are no brakes on the nose the zero seems appropriate. Jon mentioned something about using the glass displays for a possible app? The program now has both file-based and command line initialization so it's a bit more user friendly and the linux build is clean once the library fonts are installed. And there is a short tutorial and install doc. Any further info regards the app or what might be required regards OpenGC capabilities?
