SP3 Alpha 2 bugs

[BTM]

1. the first bug I've noticed, that I also noticed in SP2, is a bug with frozen objects.
   Sometimes, when they come in contact with a normal object, instead of unfreezing, they freeze back up when contact is lost.
   freeze bug.skp
   In this example, there are 16 cubes with thrusters, and a cylinder on a gyro. move the cylinder into the cubes, and you will see them move, the stop when contact is lost. Then, click on a cube; notice how that unfreezes it properly.

2. The second bug I noticed, again, also in SP2 and mentioned before, is that when multiple objects are connected to a controlled joint, only one of the objects will be controllable.
   cont.joint.bug.skp
   Use the arrow keys or right joystick to see in the example.

Wow. never saw that before. It might be a bug in the physics engine. Ill look into it.

I keep forgetting about that problem. I'll see if I can fix it. But probably not before the next release.

Thanks for the great bug reports BTM!

the gear gear ratio doesn't work quite right. I put the ratio to 10 and the wheels just spin (see example) after you touch them.

geargear bug

it does funny things with the worm gear too at a ratio of ten, is this a bug or isn't it. when you click on the wheel everything just disappears

bug i think.skp

The physics engine has trouble with high numbers in the gear ratio. Not really sure why.

You can connect the joints the other way around and then use a ratio of 0.10 to do the same thing as a 10 ratio. I think.

Bug #1 seems very similar to an old one in sp2; that was fixed. In this model, it is fixed if you turn off the thruster setting. I've never found #2 to be an issue.
