[ODE] too many joints?; strange behaviour

[Pawel S]

I'm very interested in helicopters. I am developing a simulator of the
Bell 222 helicopter. This particular model has 3 retractable wheels. I
use hinges and sliders to realistically  model the wheels in my
simulator. I use 5 bodies, 5 hinges and a slider for every wheel.

The problem is that the helicopter does not respond to the forces I
apply, but when I dont attach the joint to the bodies the helicopter
behaves as expected.

I dont know what is wrong. Please help.
