BAN ban-lines

Except that in SL he can see through closed blinds, a brick wall, and a level seven warp shield.

It tells me you don't actually drive vehicles in SL all that much,

or you're actually working at Linden Labs so you're on the same LAN as the sim, or you're lying.
I'm not running Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro. I have the same problems there.

Right, more ability but not a whole lot different than the guy with binoculars being able to see your bedroom activities thru the open window DESPITE your two door locks, security alarm and a doorman stationed at the lobby door to keep people out.

Most vehicles in SL suck anyway, that is why we have flight feather and flight as well as TP to get around with, vehicle scripts are not very good and tax the rendering considerably with the increased speed.

With a flight script dumped into a car it works great in a huge sandbox, go over the top of the walls of that mega prim and over sim bounderies and it does odd stuff, loses control and often winds up half a sim away or at some crazy coordinates with a -8000 or more meter number.

Don't be silly, you can't "close the window" in SL.

Just out of interest, where did you get Flight Feather from?

Oh, gee, I thought you said you just bounced off! That "crazy stuff" is what happens when you hit ban lines or full parcels when crossing a sim boundary (or shortly after crossing one).

If you fly cross country often... and it doesn't sound like you do... hitting those kinds of barriers will eventually crash your SL client.

No more than 38.44%, by my calculation. You'd get another 46.77% by making them show up on the mini-map.

Letting the people who really want to prevent access to their skybox "flip" them to the skybox zone, now... you wouldn't actually need to see them, for the most part.

The crazy stuff ONLY happens with the airplane flight script in an object when going above the sandbox's walls- they are at the border of adjacent sims since the sandbox is the size of the sim and at 500m, someone said the walls of the mega prim push you up if you go over them, at least with the airplane.

If this is true, then Microsoft broke something really badly in Windows XP.

I'll ignore the "it's only a game" comments, friend, because while I understand the self gratification in that kind of pose of ironic detachment, it really is just a pose. If you didn't care about what happens in SL you wouldn't be participating in the forums.

What I'm talking about, and have been talking about, is long distance cross-country flight in an airplane or ground vehicle. Other people have commented on how ban lines effect boats. If you don't engage in long-distance cross-country travel in a vehicle, then you pretty much don't have any relevant experience with vehicles in SL, and you have no basis on which to judge or even comment on the topic.




Oh? well then YOU explain why my airplane performs well, banks, climbs, lands and speeds around the large sandbox around 40m/sec perfectly fine till you climb near one of the mega prim WALL's tops and go over the wall, at the point the plane become unstable and spins out of control, but if brought back over the horizontal of the sandbox's ground and below the tops of the walls, it stabilizes fine! There are no ban lines up there and it's a known fact that mega prims do wierd stuff, including allowing some objects to fall thru when activated.

I don't bother with trying to fly a vehicle or drive a car halfway across SL, that's what a TP is for. If you hit void areas you can't go thru them anyway.
In any case you said BAN LINES and you were posting about your VEHICLE, a car, being on the road driving and I said I'd run into ban lines often and had no problems, they suddenly become visible around the parcel with "NO ENTRY" and bounce off it.
Now you talk about planes, ban lines don't extend up to 10,000 or 20,000 meters, they have a limited height, fly above that and no problem.

You only go flying in a sandbox that really has megaprim walls around it? *why*? What weird kind of sandbox is this?

Unless you hit them at a sim boundary.

And sometimes, you end up falling through the ground forever until the client crashes.

If that doesn't happen to you, you're just not using vehicles much.

There are no ban lines there, the walls are at the perimeter of the sim, when you cross into the next sim by going over the walls in an object with the flight script in it, you lose control like I said, and controls become extremely sensitive and go weird, I don't know how to make it any clearer than that,

it has nothing to do with how much time I fly and everything to do with going over those walls across sim lines, and the speed- 40M/sec.

Flight without a vehicle

You don't have to. I know exactly what you're talking about.
40m/s is pretty damn fast. It

Is it any surprise you have problems?

If you go slower, then most of the time you have a chance to recover before another sim

I *do* understand flight in SL. I wrote the script in your flight feather.

I like FAST, and approx 40 m/s is somewhere around 70 mph

I think my issue with ban-lines(which I have used them on my own parcels before for privacy). Is when they affect waterways or roads. I also enjoying going on long SL drives across 20-30 sims that have interconnected roads. Also waterways that are interconnected. I have hit banlines and it basically ruins the day out with the kids(haha). Maybe make them so somehow they wont be in the water or on the public roads?
