[ODE] Calculating FDir1 For Vehicle Tires.

[Jeff Weber]

I have looked at the Racer site and the PaceJka's info.   I'm hoping I can 
get by with a simpler friction model. I don't need top notch realism, just 
need "good-enough" realism.

My current problem, using just the most basic friction mode of ode, is that 
I get jerky motion when making turns. It's most noticeable when I put my 
camera inside the vehicle.

Take a look at racer's homepage. I believe they use Pacejka's contact model,
which is (as far as I know) the best model available.

I have done some simulink simulations implementing it, and it works fairly
well, however, it's computationally costly.
