[ELUSIVE] Billy gliding downhill and hovering over fence!!

Hi Pasha,

It looks like Billy has learned some tricks from Millie.

I was checking out b9. I had checked out the ScreenSaver Preview to make sure locations were not mixed up anymore. So I used Mansfield and Melbourne. The locations worked perfectly. All of a sudden, I saw Billy gliding. Just like Herman described how Millie was gliding in Oriental. Billy's feet were moving while walking. But when Billy's feet were stationary, Billy continued to glide (or slide) down the hill. I went and got my camera. Billy was now hovering over the fence. That is the first video that I was able to record.

All of this was happening on my Win7 that does not have print screen. It has the snipping tool instead. Sorry, I do not have any screenshots. I watched Billy hover and glide over the fence and continue gliding over the pine trees. I then clicked the red X and then the tray icon. Billy started sliding down the hill again. This time he turned at the fence and was facing the tree. All of a sudden, he popped up from the ground and then started hovering over the fence again.

I clicked on the red X again and then the tray icon. Billy started sliding down the hill again. I recorded this one and I hope it is able to come thru.

Here is the first set. I am including Melbourne's weather if that has anything to do with it.

I am going to have to edit or split the other video into 2 videos. It is too large.

I hope the above helps you out while I am working on the other video.

Hi Pasha,

I was finally able to convert this video into a smaller version. I hope it came thru okay.

Hey, Marty!
Thank you!

Looks fun, but I consider this error an important to fix.
However, I need a reliable way to repeat this.
Otherwise it will cost too much time catching the horse.

I think it just a coincidence that the error occured to Billie.
Millie is different from Billie in color only.
Essentially this is the same object - the horse.

I recognize this error behavoir, before Horse was released I had to fix this several times.
As soon as the Horse starts gliding there is no way to stop it, but switching to another landscape and back.

Marty, do you know a reliable way to repeat the error?
