How does one go about keeping a vehicle upright? I've tried vertical attraction, but the vehicle still misaligns itself when crashing into steep hills, objects, etc.
Basically, I'm trying to find some way of keeping a hovering vehicle's rotation set at x=0, y=0 no matter what happens to it. Or at the very least, allow it to automatically return to that after hitting uneven terrain.
Thanks in advance for a reply!

Most of the time people seem to be using additional invisible prims to keep their vehicles in the desired position.

make sure you have this line in your vehicle script
llSetVehicleRotationParam( VEHICLE_REFERENCE_FRAME, <0, 0, 0, 1> );
it forces your vehicle to remain right side up

Reference frame won't make any difference to this (well, unless your vehicle's root prim is pointing in an odd direction).
What you should be looking at here is the vertical attractor.

Have you tried llSetStatus(STATUS_ROTATE_X | STATUS_ROTATE_Y, FALSE)?
