Csaba, thank you very much for testing. See my comments below.

That is weird, I will try to find out why. After a quick look, I am
concerned about the values of the spring and compression in the
definition file of the s76c. The static friction value is very high
also. I will do some tests...

How can I set the carrier speed to zero? :) I would like to reproduce it
here. Anyway, I think that moving the following lines to inside the "if
(_slipping)" loop around line 650 in Gear.cpp solves it:
// Get the direction of movement
float dir[3];
Math::unit3(cv, dir);
The carrier sailing out from underneath is strange, it looks like the
groundcache can't finding a intersection with the ground for these
aircrafts and it is using a fallback value. Can someone check if this
happens without my patch also? I will try to find out why this is
happening.
Regards,
Diogo
