VMing `rudder` no longer effects the steering

At some point in the past, I was able to use variableModifiers to VM rudder and control steering independently of the player's input. In the latest release. that is no longer possible.

This may effect other controls as well like throttle and brake. It would be nice to be able to VM these for some advanced features I have planned.

If this is addressed, it would be nice if brake as an analog variable. Last time I tested it, if the brake was any value other than 0, the brake was fully applied (even if I VM'd it to 0.001). This would be great for things like brake fade.

After some testing, it seems the issue lies in the steering effects of the wheels is controlled by input_rudder rather than rudder. I can VM input_rudder to control steering, but because MTS uses this value directly to increment the steering on keyboard, it causes bad logic as MTS is trying to add the incremental steering to the VM'd value.

So the solution is using rudder to do the steering forces rather than input_rudder. Which makes sense. You can input whatever you want, but if you hydroplane, or a linkage breaks, then it doesn't link to the output.
