Make wheels work when mounted on subobjects

Currently, wheels (or wheel supensions) don't work when they are mounted on subobjects. They appear to be in some sort of neutral gear: rolling without resistance, but delivering no propulsion.


I have tried this by building a rover with wheels mounted on beams. The beams were in turn mounted on hinges. Then I tried to drive around. The rover did not move at all.


Request: (Re)activate driving functionality for wheels on subobjects.


Semi-related suggestion: In some cases, especially with weird mounting positions, it may not be obvious in which direction the wheel will turn. Add a graphic symbol to the wheel suspension that shows the direction of rotation when driving forward.
