Tracked Vehicle example issue

Description

I am on the ign-gazebo6 branch and am trying to run the tracked_vehicle_simple.sdf example with the command ign gazebo tracked_vehicle_simple.sdf . I am able to publish to the /keyboard/keypress topic. Running the subsequent command ign topic -t /keyboard/keypress -e and pressing the W key, the output is data: 87 . However the robot doesn't move in simulation. I am wondering if the example has the correct plugins.

If you're using Fortress and Garden, the tracked vehicle example requires building Gazebo from source with a DART 6.13 or later. See #1662

It would be good to mention this in the examples.

I see, thank you. I switched to Harmonic and the example works fine.
