When Havok2 is implemented in SL, it'd be nice if the limit of prims for the physical simulation would be increased. I'm currently doing a M1A2 Abrams, and I'm already at 46 prims, and still need detail objects.
Alternatively would it be cool if some future version of SL would allow us to define a set of bounding boxes to be used for physical simulation, instead of the whole model. This would speed up things and could allow to remove the limit altogether.
Thanks for considering.

Renault, this is also a very frequently suggested feature.
The current proposed solution to this is to allow linking phantom and physical prims, thereby effectively creating a custom collision mask for your vehicle. And for the love of god stop suggesting the obvious  _____________________

Yes, please suggest the obscure and pointless.

Correct, Blaze. I only enjoy reading recommendations which are impossible to understand, needlessly complex and riddled with profanity.

I suggest we all just not bother with the flame war and get back to thinking up new features.

Please let us all know what is obscure and pointless about his suggestion. Absolutely nothing. It was a good idea and hopefully more will be coming forthwith. It was just an attempt at dry sarcasm. I'll let you figure out the target. _____________________
