Yes, that's a pain. I'm currently reworking that part. This was quite
hackish. I had used the same value for on-ground an in-air, only with
sign reversed (and a smooth transition). Now I do them separately.
In-air I'll just use a fraction of the negated side-slip angle, and on
ground I want to use something based on acceleration direction, multiplied
with a function that is 0 at standstill, raises to a couple of knots
and then converges against 0 again with speed. So at takeoff speed
there should be hardly any heading change left. Doesn't work yet. :-/

Yeah, that's nice. Although, after your report I flew a narrow/curvy valley
with the A-10 and found that the heading change due to roll is too much.
I'll reduce that a bit. (And in the end it should be configurable
anyway. Still searching for the most generic settings.)

:-)   Thanks for the report!
