Yeah, the Locomotion System is limited in that regard. :/

Actually there is no forward/backward leaning for quadrupeds in the current
implementation; they simply keep the legs equally vertical as they would do on
a horizontal surface. They do lean sideways though, based on
acceleration/banking.

However, it would not be hard to extend the system with this functionality.

It is, but *I* didn't do it. I was given permission to use the quadruped models
from WolfQuest.org, for testing purposes. I didn't create the other models
either.
