Ok, I am working on a major overhaul to speed up and generalize the ground intersection stuff. So parts of what you code is already covered by that more general approach. When I look at your patch, the only thing that is missing so far in the ground intersection api is the body fixed reference point of the body you are rolling on. I would suggest that we add this kind of reference point to the existing api so that you can make use of that. As I told in an other mail, the way the surface velocities are computed and provided to the FDM have subtle problems in the current implementation. May be this will already improve the way you stick on moving surfaces.
