Right ?
As far as I know, this spring and damper around a stuck point is the method used even on race simulators. The best way to explain its principle is to compare it to the flexibility of the wheel rubber and the gear structure itself. After all fixed body physics don't really exist. Right now my code uses a 1cm long spring, it is not that much and I believe it could be reduced even more. To really give the best result with every plane, more information on the gear, and changes to the aircraft definition format, would be required. What I think may be acceptable. The bigger problem with this approach is the Carrier, but I don't see why it shouldn't work. Although I haven't got it working so far. I hope this can be solved soon, so I can send the patch as a proof of concept. IMHO it is working pretty well on land.
