Hi Scarz!
In the case of the 747 the steerable nosewheel looks something like this:
//WHEEL3 <FRONT>
1.05 0 0.35 //ŽÔ—ֈʒu [m]
1500 //spring constant [N/m]
13 //Viscosity [N*s/m]
200 //breaking load [N]
0 1 0 //ŽÔŽ²ƒxƒNƒgƒ‹ [X,Y,Z]
0.2 //coefficient of friction trace direction
0.7 //coeff. of fric. transverse direction
1 //channel
10 //Maximum Angle [deg]
You had the channel (1) correct but you left out how much the wheel would turn - In this case 10 degrees. Note: if it was a tailwheel, the value would be negative (-10 degees) othervise the plane would turn in the wrong direction.
