Again, using Zuti MDS (IL2-1946) you could specify the "friction factor" for a home base area. It would be useful in COD if we had a "friction object" to lay down beside runways/taxiways so that pilots had to be careeful to stick to markd areas or risk tipping the plane on its nose

I might add, some sort of flexible land-friction method would be needed when COD eventually moves to the Pacific theatre, as runways/taxiways in jungle areas often has marsden plates to keep planes out of the mud, and taxi off the marsden plates & the pane would sink to the wheel axles in mud.
