Vivian pointed out that a redefined Ctrl-U key binding didn't work correctly. I found out that this is, because the definition in $FG_ROOT/keyboard.xml sets for binding[1], and ... [better sit down first!] ... and assigning in a *-set.xml file doesn't *really* set "double" as new type! Instead,

Yes, that is what I tried: importing the wrl file. But in vain. The file version is VRML V2.0 utf8 and is not recognised by AC3D. So one of the guys in the team has created a new model from scratch, using 3dstudio and we now have 2 versions: - high quality model (~ 5000 polygons) saved as .3ds - l

Currently enabling tailwheel-lock actually means to *unlock* it. The meaning is reversed, which is a bit confusing. Would it be a good idea to change the default for it in FGControls::FGControls() and FGControls::reset_all() to "true", and make the FDM configs familiar with the new concept? (i.e.
