The landing gear kind of "catches" when landing. It's like landing with the brakes engaged. I think that since this is a plane game the wheels should work best for planes.

    @AndrewGarrison The little wheel did nothing. This creation gave me an idea though. Many taildraggers risk being tipped over when braking too hard, why not add a brake strength slider too?

    @AndrewGarrison I will test that (and other things) tomorrow

    @kikasshes I'm hoping it will just help prevent it from catching by exerting a smaller force on the plane.

    @AndrewGarrison Will that really help right at the moment of touchdown? Reducing the friction of the front wheels helped, but it ain't perfect

    Can you try reducing the forward friction on the rear wheel?

    1.4.0.3 Made it better but still not perfect @AndrewGarrison
