[Opensim-users] Sailing in Opensim

[James Stallings II]

We are working on hard on it :D

I actually built a very simple flying physical vehicle last night.

Problem is, llApplyImpulse and llSetForce do not honor the local/global
frame of reference argument.

This is a bit of a pain, but it's not a show stopper. The script has to do a
lot of math to work around it until it gets fixed.

More on this soon :)

Tell your friends physical scripted vehicles are on the way.

Cheers!
