Your fun has been cut short...good day.

I'm not exactly sure if this is the proper area in which to post this issue, citing the fact that hardly ever visit Forums. However, on the chance that it is... here goes.

My technical issue/complaint/grievance is with the programming of SL to "return" your vehicles when you are utilizing them and encounter...

a) A "full parcel"...

b) A "banned parcel"...

c) A "restricted access parcel"

I fully understand that owners of parcels may set security levels based upon either their own preferences or Covenant with a landlord. I'm also fully aware that if an individual has, for example, 2000 prims available to use on their parcel... they're fully entitled to use all 2000.

I'm not suggesting that Linden Labs infringe upon a paid landowner's rights. I'm simply saying that it's infuriating to be zipping along in either a land, sea or air vehicle and simply have the vehicle disappear for one of the three reasons mentioned above... without warning.

If it's a "no rez" area... you're stuck. You either have to fly or teleport to a rez area or back home. Your trip is done. And on linked sims where travel is "open"... this SHOULDN'T ever be a problem, but it is.

MY SOLUTION:

I propose that Linden Labs create a new protocol regarding a "full", "restricted" or "banned" parcel by placing an invisible border around it (somewhat similar to the border one encounters at the edges of an isolated sim. Not necessarily a "NO ENTRY" text wall... but just something that would prevent vehicles and other attachments from attempting to enter the sim in question and becoming a "returned item".

I don't think it would be a huge change. And I'm sure many sailors, drivers and pilots would be much happier on their journeys.

Ok... I'll sit down now. Thanks for listening to my rant.

Full parcels shouldn't actually do that - that's clearly a bug.. You can vote for it at http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/svc-22. There's also a number of related bug in there, too.

Yeah. It's a pain.

Thanks! I appreciate the info and link. I'll check that out.
