P6DOF Landing Gear¶
The landing gear block defines the landing gear on a p6dof_object_type. The main components of landing_gear are ground_reaction_point objects.

- gear_rolling_vector_x <real-value>¶
This is the x-direction (in object coordinates) of the rolling vector.
- gear_rolling_vector_y <real-value>¶
This is the y-direction (in object coordinates) of the rolling vector.
- gear_rolling_vector_z <real-value>¶
This is the z-direction (in object coordinates) of the rolling vector.
- spring_constant_lbs_per_ft <real-value>¶
This is the spring constant in lbs/ft.
- damper_constant_lbs_per_fps <real-value>¶
This is the damper constant in lbs/(ft/sec).
- uncompressed_length <length-value>¶

- scuffing_coefficient_of_friction <real-value>¶
This is the scuffing coefficient of friction.
- ignore_friction <boolean-value>¶
This indicates if friction should be ignored.
- is_landing_gear <boolean-value>¶
This indicates if the ground_reaction_point is a landing gear (true) or a contact point (false).
- is_contact_point <boolean-value>¶
This indicates if the ground_reaction_point is a contact point (true) or a landing gear (false).
