Hi, This is a revival of the old thread "small bug in YASim-gears". I'm trying to improve the static gear friction using the damped spring (1 cm length) around a "stuck" point method cited by Andy Ross. The patch is already in the works and somewhat functional, but I could use some help in the following special cases: - The carrier is the bigger problem, I don't know how to make the stuck point follow the carrier movement. Can I get the carrier position and orientation from the ground cache? - The brake needs to be improved as well. Should I consider that the brake never locks the wheel? In the current patch, the wheel "locks" when the brake is bigger than the static friction (both are in 0-1 range, right?) what is a crude simplification. This would make necessary some change to the brake when its bound to a button or braking will get very challenging :) - Are the fields _ground_loadCapacity and _ground_loadResistance of the Gear class relevant to the gear friction? How should I interpret them?
