Yes, Adam, typically on the linden grid this is done with vehicle functions in LSL. One thing that occurred to me is that this might actually be much easier to accomplish on osgrid using mono. It might also help lay some groundwork for a way forward to implementing more SL-like vehicle funtions down the road.<br>
<br>I have spoken with one of SL's finer sailboat makers in-world, one MothGirl Dibou (I hope I have her name right). She has recently done some sailing-related work in SL in mono (a windsetter, as it's called, that produces competition wind, and I encouraged us to get in the pit and show some love wrt sailing specifically, and vehicle physics in general, but have not heard from her for a few days; the community has been rather busy protesting and negotiating concerning the Open Spaces price hikes.<br>
<br>I'd be willing to carry whatever load here I can, count me in for some light coding testing, what have you. As usual, my regions are available for prototying/testing/debugging/repros.<br><br>Cheers!<br>James<br><br>

This probably relies on vehicle physics - I've had some interest in implementing this myself recently, although I'm not 100% sure I have the time. If you guys have programmers, maybe I can give some direction on what's needed in order to write a sailing boat module.<br>
<br>
In theory it's not too complex (maybe a little, but it's self contained at least).<br>
