I fixed a bug in the FDM related to the landing gear. The left and right gear were switched so that pressing the right side brake would engage the brake on the left, and vice versa. That is now rectified. I've also done a bit of work on the external lighting adding wing lights and fixing the flashing patterns for the strobes and beacons.
Josh, I've done a few test flights recently, and I'm still finding the mach with pitch to be overly aggressive. It does a fine job of holding the commanded mach, but if you increase the target mach, the vertical speed drops to zero, and sometimes even goes negative. Going negative has an adverse effect on the automatic fuel system. To reproduce, try this: climb to FL270 in IAS mode and 295 kts. When you reach FL270, switch to mach and increase the target mach to 0.760.
