 // TODOs for BulletSim (for BSScene, BSPrim, BSCharacter and BulletSim)
-// Debug linkset 
-// Test with multiple regions in one simulator 
-// Adjust character capsule size when height is adjusted (ScenePresence.SetHeight)
-// Test sculpties
+// Test sculpties (verified that they don't work)
 // Compute physics FPS reasonably
 // Based on material, set density and friction
-// More efficient memory usage when passing hull information from BSPrim to BulletSim
-// Move all logic out of the C++ code and into the C# code for easier future modifications.
+// Don't use constraints in linksets of non-physical objects. Means having to move children manually.
 // Four states of prim: Physical, regular, phantom and selected. Are we modeling these correctly?
 //     In SL one can set both physical and phantom (gravity, does not effect others, makes collisions with ground)
 //     At the moment, physical and phantom causes object to drop through the terrain
 // Physical phantom objects and related typing (collision options )
-// Use collision masks for collision with terrain and phantom objects 
 // Check out llVolumeDetect. Must do something for that.
+// Use collision masks for collision with terrain and phantom objects
+// More efficient memory usage when passing hull information from BSPrim to BulletSim
 // Should prim.link() and prim.delink() membership checking happen at taint time?
-// changing the position and orientation of a linked prim must rebuild the constraint with the root.
-// Mesh sharing. Use meshHash to tell if we already have a hull of that shape and only create once
+// Mesh sharing. Use meshHash to tell if we already have a hull of that shape and only create once.
 // Do attachments need to be handled separately? Need collision events. Do not collide with VolumeDetect
-// Implement the genCollisions feature in BulletSim::SetObjectProperties (don't pass up unneeded collisions)
 // Implement LockAngularMotion
 // Decide if clearing forces is the right thing to do when setting position (BulletSim::SetObjectTranslation)
-// Does NeedsMeshing() really need to exclude all the different shapes?
 // Remove mesh and Hull stuff. Use mesh passed to bullet and use convexdecom from bullet.
 // Add PID movement operations. What does ScenePresence.MoveToTarget do?
 // Check terrain size. 128 or 127?
