are very tied to the Havok internal API, and while we could probably write a neutral
bridge for them to the ODE/Bullet/etc equivalents, it's a lot of work and they
still probably won't behave exact the same as SL's (i.e. necessitating rewrites
and tweaks anyway).</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">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>

<p>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>
