I got a little curious today. I wanted to see how many sims I could connect to at once before my connection/client died.

I was pleasantly surprised. My record now stands at 314 as you can see in these pictures of a full screen minimap:

Question/challenge: How many sims can you connect to?
How to do this: Go to Advanced >> Debug Settings. Type RenderFarClip into the box and set it to roughly 5000. Maximize your minimap and hold on for the ride.

Fun note: To honer a recent thread here. I camed 8 sims over and looked up someones dress.

You realize of course that you've created a whole bunch of monsters who previously didn't know what far clip was all about, right?

They'll discover it'll crash their computer long before it does anything to SL.

I love doing far clip stuff. Was working on a panoramic photo yesterday at a 124 draw, getting all of Nova Albion, a bit of Shermerville, the Ahern Welcome Area, an Nexus Prime all into a shot. I've done longer ones to get all (or most) of Bay City into piccies.
