You should be able to view terrain from inside hills etc, that way we can
create undergroudn caves etc

In most cases you wouldn't have people lower than the terrain, so the bottom isn't rendered to improve performance.

If you want caves right now, just make a hole in the terrain and use objects for the under-terrain portion.

It should still be an option to make the terrain cell 2-sided...

I think a lot of things should be options. Like your defualt terrain
texture.... >:\

I agree. But AWCom is turning around and after years of requesting the
features are finally being put in.

Having two-sided terrain (or a world setting for it) would be for the whole
world, just so that one area can have a cave. The use of a cave the same
shape as the hill (not a common feature in the world as we know it) is
questionable too really.

If you want a cave, I think the best solution is to build one with suitable
objects under the terrain. Looks better and more easily made to look like
you want.

texture #1 :)

Maybe the line of objects taccd.rwx. which don't rendered on the underside
can be reworked so that they do.

.... it would also unfortunately take years to program all of these
options.

I recommend you look at this if you haven't already:

No excuse. You want options? Just look at Directory Opus (http://www.gpsoft.com.au/Intro.html), which is the EPITOME of options (and the most configurable software I've EVER used--and I've used a LOT)--and it's just a Windows Explorer replacement! Surely if such a lowly app like that can have THAT many options, AW can at least have a few more than it already does...especially since AW is meant to basically be an immersive (virtual) reality simulator where people don't just spend a few minutes each day using but could, in theory, "live".
