ok, instead of havin fake cars and shit, why not just make it possible to
control the avatar speed. so, we could have it as when your in a certain
avatar(say, a human), you go at 10mph and when your in another(say a car av)
you move at 80mph and when your in another (say motorcycle) you go at
100mph. and so on. and with the new 3.4 ability to disable the avatar list,
and choose someones avatar, it will make some fun games possible. hell, we
could have proper racing games maybe,with enough bot work lol :)

The idea of speed setting for each avatar has been suggested before, and I agree it would be good to have. Off hand, the only down side that I can think of to adding it right away would be that it would cause a lot more testing to be necessary in order to be sure that the extreme variations in avatar speed wouldn't cause unexpected problems with the collision detection, however this would be a great thing to have added in the next version of Active Worlds since the version we are beta testing not really sets everything up to be ready for it. :) Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll add it now... although I'm pretty sure if they do there will be a lot of people complaining about the testing taking too long, and of course if the testing gets cut short there will be even more people complaining about any unresolved problems with the collision detection under unxeptected conditions at unreasonable or at least unusual avatar speeds.

Good one for the wish list. :) Not sure if it was in here already, but now it is.
