Baron brakes and steering

Been working on the steering and the brakes in the Beech G58 Baron.

In the system.cfg file

[BRAKES]
parking_brake = 1 ;
auto_brakes = 0 ;
toe_brakes_scale = 0.50 ;
differential_braking_scale = 0.38 ;

In the flight_model.cfg

[CONTACT_POINTS]
max_speed_full_steering = 8 ; 10
max_speed_decreasing_steering = 60 ; 20
min_available_steering_angle_pct = 0.1 ; 0.2
max_speed_full_steering_castering = 9 ; 20
max_speed_decreasing_steering_castering = 60 ; 40
min_castering_angle = 0.044 ; 0.05236
max_castering_angle = -2.97 ; 3.14159265358979

If you set the diff. braking to 1, you’ll get full braking on the inside wheel while letting the outside wheel turn freely. That’s good for people like me that don’t have pedals and rely on the twist stick for ground handling.
