That sounds great, I am looking forward to using this improved
groundcache. I couldn't test it so far but I will try to update the
friction code ASAP. Unfortunately I am going to stay away from fgfs a
little longer than expected.

What is the status of the the body fixed reference point API? I would be
glad to help on you with that when I get back to it.
