I've heard from many builders that the vehicle prim limit is 31, including avatars. But Cubey's biplane has 155 prims. Is there actually some way to bypass the vehicle prim limit?

There used to be, but not now as far as I know.

Um, if that's the case for vehicles other than cars, then I feel seriously ripped off, and am gonna be pissed.

Cars had, and still have, a 31 prim limit. And each occupant counts as a 'prim'.

Feel free to be pissed off about seriously ancient history. It's not going to change anything. (And cars were no different. There was a way to circumvent the 31 prim rule with those, too.)

Well, in that case, I'm not pissed assuming I can get around the limit with cars as well.

So I guess I'm gonna have to do some research and see what the workaround is.

I know about attaching the actual car to your AV. So if that's all it is, then I'll be moving on. Not so keen on that idea for cars.

There is no longer any workaround for the prim limit (that I know of) besides attaching your vehicle to your avatar.

Note the fact I said "ancient history", SteveR. The bug was fixed ages and ages ago.

Oops, I mistook that for meaning that there is no limit now.

I wasn't aware of a past bug.

Well, good to know I'm not crazy, just a poor reader. :p
