The object I mentioned in this thread is placed on my land, for anybody who wants to give it a whirl:
Vaoetere (210, 238) 1) There is a teensy-tiny 0.01-meter plywood cube floating above a pose stand. That little cube is a pusher that packs a mighty, mighty wallop.  2) Wear an avatar with no attachments. I've heard that Bad Things could happen otherwise. 3) Stand somewhere near that cube and type '/1 launch'. 4) Prepare to be walloped. You will most likely find yourself at an altitude of anywhere from several hundred million meters to two billion meters plus.  _____________________

I'm just concerned that the downward part of this journey is so swift that I haven't got time to open a parachute, or that I'll have to relog. It is a bit of a nuisance either way but it seems there are willing volunteers to test it. I think I'll hop over and watch

I had time to script an altimeter while I was up there. _____________________

Falling that distance could take over an hour. ...assuming you actually fall. At altitudes like that, you usually don't. _____________________

Beware of Crashing

I have tried this twice now and crashed out of Second Life instantly twice, just thought I'd warn y'all.

I have no idea what the problem is. Of course as long as one didn't have hours of scriptwriting in an unsaved file or some such similar situation there is no harm from crashing SL.
I have cleared my cache and will try again, if that doesn't work and I get up the oomph I will to make my other computer with the flakey video card slot behavior work again and try that. --- addenda ---- The next try caused another crash. Sigh. _____________________

Here's some shots for those of you who can't seem to make it work -- and for those who can (there's some rather amusing ones in there).

Deploying a parachute at 9 million meters plus was a bit painful

Too bad I couldn't figure a way down without teleporting. I wanted to walk around on the ground like this...

I am more curious to know how you got settext to work on a hud attachment, if in fact, that altimeter is a hud attachment.

If you're talking about the text such as that at the bottom right of my screen shot, you can display that by using the Debug menu: Debug -> HUD Info -> Camera To turn on the Debug menu, press CTRL-ALT-D HP |
