TODO -- KSPWheel Modules -- Stock replacement PartModules

TODO

General

• Figure out best default scaling powers for...everything...
• Investigate if wheels should be made a bit more configurable
  • select 'light/med/heavy' structure
    • adjust impact tolerance and stress tolerance
    • effects part mass directly
    • light and heavy both cost more, med uses default cost
  • select 'spiked/soft/med/hard' wheel type
    • adjusts friction output, max safe speed, and wheel persistent wear rate
    • does not effect part mass or cost
  • some other method to adjust max safe speed of the wheel, that comes with some other negative tradeoff (mass, cost, heat tolerance, ??)

KSPWheelBase

• Add methods to disable/remove most/all colliders from the part, except those needed
  • This is a workaround for some of the funny rigging that other mod parts use.
• check how 'manual suspension' effects various features -- do things still work with it enabled?

KSPWheelSteering

KSPWheelMotor

• Add handling for motor response curve/throttle response/spool-up?
• When reversing motor at high rpm, should it put out more power?
• When integrating motor values -- only subtract brake torque from motor torque if they would act in opposite directions.
• Regenerative braking?
  • Configurable regenerative efficiency factor
  • Examine long force when motor not engaged, convert back to torque (or convert back into kw/kj/ec?)

KSPWheelBrakes

KSPWheelDamage

• Add flight-logging of break and repair events.

KSPWheelBogey

• handle lerp of bogey pre-retract animation being played (delay animation until retracted)
  • no clue where to best handle this

KSPWheelDeployment

• Make sure 'lights' action group is enabled and/or light is enabled in the lights module before turning the actual light on and off.

KSPWheelTracks

• Overall traction on tracks seems rather low; hard to climb slopes. A very low powered 4x4 was climbing better than more powerful mole tracks. Could simply be unbalanced configs / unconfigured values.
