I don't remember the issue. Might have been a bug in the pre-linkage code but I'd have to do a lot of searching to find what it was.

JLV, is there any chance that we could get a linkage adjustment option to simulate installing a shorter link?
Having a less drastic linkage would probably help for SX where the falloffs are more of an issue.

pls no more suspension settings

I'd probably just scrap the force based test and switch to testing the velocity normal to the ground instead of adding more suspension settings. It'd be dumber but probably less surprising.
