 For limitMotorUp, use raycast down to find if vehicle is in the air.
+Angular motion around Z moves the vehicle in world Z and not vehicle Z in ODE.

+llGetVel() should return the root's velocity if requested in a child prim.
 Implement function efficiency for lineaar and angular motion.
 Should vehicle angular/linear movement friction happen after all the components

         Must not be initializing height when recreating capsule after unsit.
 Duplicating a physical prim causes old prim to jump away
         Dup a phys prim and the original become unselected and thus interacts w/ selected prim.
-Disable activity of passive linkset children.
-        Since the linkset is a compound object, the old prims are left lying
-        around and need to be phantomized so they don't collide, ...
 Scenes with hundred of thousands of static objects take a lot of physics CPU time.
 BSPrim.Force should set a continious force on the prim. The force should be
         applied each tick.  Some limits?
-Linksets should allow collisions to individual children
-        Add LocalID to children shapes in LinksetCompound and create events for individuals
