[Opensim-users] Avatar movement while falling

[dogwomble at exemail.com.au]

Hey all,

I thought i'd pose this question here because it's really causing me to
scratch my head.

I'm running in OpenSim 0.7.5 with the ODE physics engine.  I'm working on
a parachute-style project, which will require you to move your avatar with
the normal controls (eg. arrow keys) while your avatar is falling.  At the
moment it seems that arrow keys have no effect when falling, you basically
have to hit the Home button to start flying otherwise you'll just fall
straight down.

I have had the same results with a different viewer, so it doesn't seem to
be an issue with any particular viewer.  I also get the effect I want
using the "other" grid.

I'm wondering if anyone has come across (and solved) this issue in the
past, and if so what is the best way to get the effect I want.  I've
considered trying to take controls within the script and basically script
movement, however I'm not sure that will be the most appropriate solution.

Hopefully we can get this sorted :)
