The first thing I noticed has been happening for quit a few months now, is that when I Rez online or TP my camera keeps zooming in and out wildly until I move it or walk. When I get off a vehicle I bounce up and down sometimes right above it or it throws me way up in the sky and I boucine up and down til I do something. It plays my flying down or falling anim..they are the same.

Lately when I get off(unsit) from a vehicle in my skybox I fall through the floor. If is its on the ground I fall through the vehicle ending up standing on the ground through the vehicle. if I walk away from it and then come back some times it turns solid and sometimes it doesn't. It is not set to be phantom, only physical when sitting and non physical when unsitting. The script I'm using is Cubey Terra DIY Plane 1.0, September 10, 2005.

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Is it happening to you too? Is it the viewer? I'm on the latest official version: Second Life 1.20.17 (98669) Oct 5 2008 10:25:42 (Second Life Release)

been having the phantom prim effect happening to me for awhile

especially if flying and landing quickly on a prim, by pressing the page down key to fly down, I usually fly right through the prim

The camera bug is being worked on, from what I hear, an should be fixed soon. The falling animation thing is also a Havok 4 bug.

I don't know, but that is an awful old script. It may not be entirely compliant any more.

I had that over the past two months, seems to have stopped for me since the latest upgrade viewer.

I know that's an old script. I'm using it to learn airplane scripts. I dont' think it's the problem tho. It's not only that scripted vehicle it happens with, every vehicle I have including H4 updated seems to have this problem.

still does it for me

I don't think it has anything to do with the script as it happens when just simple flying and landing

Same prob

Seems to be a problem mostly on SIM borders and has something to do with how long you hold down the arrow forward key. If you hold it down for only short periods it usually doesn't do this. It could also have something to do with the keyboard your using. Maybe a driver problem. I've also noticed that if you wear wings it is less of a problem. This might be a physic change that slows down the processing of information and stops the looping from occurring.

Wish Linden would do something about this one.

This post regarding lag while flying not on the ground.

Yes yes yes. Happens when I try to land in a skybox. Right through the floor. I don't even have to be going fast. Hit the page-down key while hovering a meter over the floor and sail right through.

I looked at the airplane script again. It turns the physics PHANTOM then sleeps for 1.5 then sets the physics FALSE. I slashed out the PHANTOM physics line and reduce the sleep to .5. This works for falling through the plane now, but I haven't had a chance to try it in the sky box. The other script is a heli script which doesn't turn PHANTOM and was the one with the problem falling through the skybox floor. Even after you fell through and flew back to the sky box you could still fly through the floor it sometimes but not always. some how it's allowing me to fall through.

I don't think it has anything to do with drivers..It just started happening..I'm on the same drivers..I tried new ones and they cause problems.
