+PROBLEMS TO LOOK INTO
+=================================================
+Nebadon vehicle ride, get up, ride again. Second time vehicle does not act correctly.
+        Have to rez new vehicle and delete the old to fix situation.
+Hitting RESET on Nebadon's vehicle while riding causes vehicle to get into odd
+        position state where it will not settle onto ground properly, etc
+Two of Nebadon vehicles in a sim max the CPU. This is new.
+A sitting, active vehicle bobs up and down a small amount.
+
 CURRENT PRIORITIES
 =================================================
-Redo BulletSimAPI to allow native C# implementation of Bullet option.
-Avatar movement
-        flying into a wall doesn't stop avatar who keeps appearing to move through the obstacle
-        walking up stairs is not calibrated correctly (stairs out of Kepler cabin)
-        avatar capsule rotation completed
-llMoveToTarget
+Use the HACD convex hull routine in Bullet rather than the C# version.  
+        Speed up hullifying large meshes.
 Enable vehicle border crossings (at least as poorly as ODE)
         Terrain skirts
         Avatar created in previous region and not new region when crossing border
         Vehicle recreated in new sim at small Z value (offset from root value?) (DONE)
-Vehicle movement on terrain smoothness
+Deleting a linkset while standing on the root will leave the physical shape of the root behind.
+        Not sure if it is because standing on it. Done with large prim linksets.
+Linkset child rotations.
+        Nebadon spiral tube has middle sections which are rotated wrong.
+        Select linked spiral tube. Delink and note where the middle section ends up.
+Refarb compound linkset creation to create a pseudo-root for center-of-mass
+        Let children change their shape to physical indendently and just add shapes to compound
+Vehicle angular vertical attraction
+vehicle angular banking
+Center-of-gravity
+Vehicle angular deflection
+        Preferred orientation angular correction fix
+when should angular and linear motor targets be zeroed? when selected?
+        Need a vehicle.clear()? Or an 'else' in prestep if not physical.
+Teravus llMoveToTarget script debug
+        Mixing of hover, buoyancy/gravity, moveToTarget, into one force
+        Setting hover height to zero disables hover even if hover flags are on (from SL wiki)
+limitMotorUp calibration (more down?)
+llRotLookAt
+llLookAt
+Avatars walking up stairs (HALF DONE)
+Avatar movement
+        flying into a wall doesn't stop avatar who keeps appearing to move through the obstacle (DONE)
+        walking up stairs is not calibrated correctly (stairs out of Kepler cabin) (DONE)
+        avatar capsule rotation completed (NOT DONE - Bullet's capsule shape is not the solution)
 Vehicle script tuning/debugging
         Avanti speed script
         Weapon shooter script
-limitMotorUp calibration (more down?)
-Boats float low in the water
+Move material definitions (friction, ...) into simulator.
 Add material densities to the material types.

-CRASHES
-=================================================
-20121129.1411: editting/moving phys object across region boundries causes crash
-    getPos-> btRigidBody::upcast -> getBodyType -> BOOM
-20121128.1600: mesh object not rezzing (no physics mesh).
-    Causes many errors. Doesn't stop after first error with box shape.
-    Eventually crashes when deleting the object.
-20121206.1434: rez Sam-pan into OSGrid BulletSim11 region
-        Immediate simulator crash. Mono does not output any stacktrace and
-        log just stops after reporting taint-time linking of the linkset.
+One sided meshes? Should terrain be built into a closed shape?
+        When meshes get partially wedged into the terrain, they cannot push themselves out.
+        It is possible that Bullet processes collisions whether entering or leaving a mesh.
+        Ref: http://bulletphysics.org/Bullet/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=4869
 
 VEHICLES TODO LIST:
 =================================================
-Angular motor direction is global coordinates rather than local coordinates
+LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION values should be clamped to reasonable numbers.
+        What are the limits in SL?
+        Same for other velocity settings.
+UBit improvements to remove rubber-banding of avatars sitting on vehicle child prims:
+        https://github.com/UbitUmarov/Ubit-opensim
 Border crossing with linked vehicle causes crash
+        20121129.1411: editting/moving phys object across region boundries causes crash

 Vehicles (Move smoothly)
-Add vehicle collisions so IsColliding is properly reported.
-        Needed for banking, limitMotorUp, movementLimiting, ...
-VehicleAddForce is not scaled by the simulation step but it is only
-        applied for one step. Should it be scaled?
 Some vehicles should not be able to turn if no speed or off ground.
+What to do if vehicle and prim buoyancy differ?
 Cannot edit/move a vehicle being ridden: it jumps back to the origional position.
 Neb car jiggling left and right
         Happens on terrain and any other mesh object. Flat cubes are much smoother.
         This has been reduced but not eliminated.
 Implement referenceFrame for all the motion routines.
-Angular motion around Z moves the vehicle in world Z and not vehicle Z in ODE.
-        Verify that angular motion specified around Z moves in the vehicle coordinates.
+For limitMotorUp, use raycast down to find if vehicle is in the air.
 Verify llGetVel() is returning a smooth and good value for vehicle movement.
 llGetVel() should return the root's velocity if requested in a child prim.
 Implement function efficiency for lineaar and angular motion.
 After getting off a vehicle, the root prim is phantom (can be walked through)
     Need to force a position update for the root prim after compound shape destruction
 Linkset explosion after three "rides" on Nebadon lite vehicle (LinksetConstraint)
-For limitMotorUp, use raycast down to find if vehicle is in the air.
 Remove vehicle angular velocity zeroing in BSPrim.UpdateProperties().
         A kludge that isn't fixing the real problem of Bullet adding extra motion.
 Incorporate inter-relationship of angular corrections. For instance, angularDeflection
         and angularMotorUp will compute same X or Y correction. When added together
         creates over-correction and over-shoot and wabbling.
+Vehicle attributes are not restored when a vehicle is rezzed on region creation
+        Create vehicle, setup vehicle properties, restart region, vehicle is not reinitialized.
 
-BULLETSIM TODO LIST:
+GENERAL TODO LIST:
 =================================================
+Explore btGImpactMeshShape as alternative to convex hulls for simplified physical objects.
+        Regular triangle meshes don't do physical collisions.
+Resitution of a prim works on another prim but not on terrain.
+        The dropped prim doesn't bounce properly on the terrain.
+Add a sanity check for PIDTarget location.
+Level-of-detail for mesh creation. Prims with circular interiors require lod of 32.
+        Is much saved with lower LODs? At the moment, all set to 32.
+Collisions are inconsistant: arrows are supposed to hit and report collision. Often don't.
+        If arrow show at prim, collision reported about 1/3 of time. If collision reported,
+        both arrow and prim report it. The arrow bounces off the prim 9 out of 10 times.
