That's interesting, and a bit at odds with what I've experienced.

I know. But I also tried 1.0 for both (the maximum), and it had
no effect. Other changes

Yes, of course. I really, really hope that I haven't forgotton

No, unfortunately not The visible effect has been reduced quite
efficiently, but the underlying problem is still there. I know of just
one single FDM for FlightGear that does proper modelling of ground
friction

Hello,
I have posted on this list before but I guess I never introduced myself.
I am a Brazilian system analyst with experience in C programming and a
little C++. I have no real pilot experience and no physics formation.
I have a crude patch to improve gear friction in yasim using the method

Well, I noticed today that putting all ballast at one spot helps a lot.

Ever since helicopter support was added to the YASim FDM
there's an annoying bug: even when parked, with rotor off
and braked, helicopters slide happily around on the ground.
Andy knows about it and explained why it happens, but claims
that there's nothing to be fixed in the FDM code. Instead,
