Make wheels work when mounted on subobjects
Not Enough Votes
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.
