Gear spring and damping coefficients #68

@HHS81

Description

@HHS81

To remove the bouncing of jet version after replay I replaced the jet fdm with the prop one (other engines of course).

I wasn't happy with the gear spring and damping coefficients. Now they are a bit stiffer and should show a more realistic behavior.

Please insert this and test:
