Subject: Export "rollspeed-ms" and "caster-angle-deg" properties for gear
X-Git-Url: https://git.mxchange.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7eb194b3f8bf4280c994fcea0edf177f6a92cff4;p=flightgear.git

Export "rollspeed-ms" and "caster-angle-deg" properties for gear
objects.  Josh Babcock wanted these for the B-29 model so he can
properly animate the gear.
