I haven't heard of this bug. I'm afraid I would need to ask you to re-test on 0.7.5 or, even better, on the next release.

oops ... looks like I already posted this question on May 6, I forgot about it, was working on something else, and now back to it. The version of opensim I am using is 0.7.4 (on kitely).

I ve been experimenting for a while with picking up NPCs and driving them in ambulances or police vehicles etc.. and driving them to some targets. When things work, it is a really enjoyable activity (well within the situation context that am not describing here to keep things simple). However, I have noticed that when I leave the vehicle after I ask the NPCs to get off, I lose keyboard control of my avatar rotation even thought I made sure that llReleaseControls are fired up when I get up. The only way for me to get my avatar unstuck (actually forward and back work,but rot left and right do not) is to use a function I never knew existed in Firestorm (in the advanced menu, there is a submenu 'release keys'. The other way to retain my avatar control is for me to get off the vehicle before the NPCs. So the order here seems important. Question I have is this, why is it that llReleaseControl seems to be successful only for forward and back? And if there is a force release function, is there some way to do this in script ( I don't think there is). R p.s. I have not heard about the new vehicle physics for a while, anything on that front? -- 'Consider how the lilies grow.
