Does anybody drive/ride vehicles across sims?

a 5minute auto return would solve that problem, I haven't had a problem yet with my rezzing platforms

lol

That wasn't the point I was trying to make, let me clarify.

With runescape, sign-ups were restricted BEFORE the performance envelope was reached, then once things had been upgraded, opened up again.

This is the type of thing SL should do, rather than downgrading all the time to allow more revenue to come in, at the expense of users performance. THIS is how they are abusing their position.

Clearly you don't build...

Yes, this would increase performance, but what a dull world it would be. And how would you make a shop sign, or something else which needs to be unique? If they did as you suggested, they might as well take away the whole buying-selling concept, because the world would be full of almost identical stuff and be devoid of personality.

Actually, I now clear my cache manualy, and this is possible while in world too, without too much problem.

This sounds good! Gonna search for that

Look on my profile inworld, there is a place in my picks called "explorers information". Here you can get free maps of most of the mainlands, as well as LMs for places to rez vehicles and drive, which I am currently compiling.

See my previous post and save yourself 5L lol

There are many places to rez vehicles on Sansara Atoll and Satori, on the roads.

I've had a custom script for some time that allows my boats to cut across sim lines like butter. You don't drop beneath the water or go flying. I commonly go cruising across dozens of sims without a problem. Biggest problem I encounter are sims or parcels that don't have 30 prims free. that can be quite a blowout.

Stop by Virgin Isle Marina for a look at the over 40 yachts, boats, jetskiis, catamaran, sailboat.

This has been a problem with Second Life from the beginning. Don't look for a fix; it has to do with the incredibly crappy architecture that Linden Lab married itself to under the tutelage of an army of nitwits some years ago.

In a nutshell, they've built a compound server cluster that would be *fantastic* for anything that can deal with very high latency between nodes, which is obviously not Second Life.

They will of course fail, it's only a matter of time. Website looks real purdy though.

Havoc 4 is fine. The problem is the architecture of the cluster that it's all running on. It's built specifically for exactly the opposite of what LL would very much like it to be good at.

And there's never been any plan to change it. They're still under the delusion that "software can fix it".

It can't, LL, and now it's too late to build the right kind of cluster. It would have cost about 3 million in hardware, a half a million in software (to pay for DB software that can actually handle the kind of load expected, i.e. not MySQL), and about 2 million in salaries over the course of about one year to get it all working on the sort of cluster where everything is zippy all the time and DBs never blow up.

So that's about 5.5 million or so, give or take ten percent--- five years ago. That's what it would have cost and how long it would have taken five years ago when many of us first started suggesting it.

Of course, LL knew better.

Except evidently not. Now LL doesn't have the money (nor the means of getting it) to rebuild their network correctly, so it is all unfortunately doomed. Might I suggest facebook for your daily drama needs?

I would expect Mono to actually be a problem here. It's more work to serialize Mono scripts and unpack them again at border crossings than LSL2 scripts.

Don't forget "Reticulating splines...".

The free Nissan Sentra is available from the giant vending machine on the sim "Nissan 1". They also have a nice long track for driving.
If you want "There.COM" you know where to find it.
All they need is 1 minute autoreturn to avoid that problem.

Build is enabled with a generous return time at Coonspiracy Central in Noonkkot. You can also buy a free bus from the broken-down one at the Coonspiracy Central bus stop and rez it there. Don't forget to visit the Coonspiracy Business District while you're in the neighborhood.

Don't worry about the giant rabbit, he's hardly ever eaten anyone.

I did a lot of tuning with Moewe, my version of Mehve.

Cruising speed is 8 m/s (18 MPH), top speed is 30 m/s (67 MPH), and you can throttle back to 1 m/s (but you tend to stall out).

As a result I find I can fly it, near ground level, over a road MUCH more easily than I can drive most cars.

Well then isn't it obvious that there might be a role for speed signs?

Funny thing is OpenLife and other new virtuall worlds are in such a hurry to copy the same initial unfixable problews SL has rather than learn from their mistakes.................

Another thing I have been noticing recently (last couple of weeks) is that physics have gotten worse. Vehicles which previously drove without problem are now behaving incorrectly, as though I hadn't spent 3 days of my life (on average) tuning each and every driving script at all. This sucks badly. I do not want to waste my time updating my entire range of vehicles to cope with this new problem of their making, but then again, I owe it to my previous customers and (hopeful) future customers to continue to offer vehicles which perform as intended.

Although the difference in performance is probably too slight for anyone other than me to notice at the moment (but I am sure this is part of the progressive decline in service we have been witnessing the last 6mths), it pains me greatly and is effectively rendering all of my previous (and possibly future) development time rather pointless. Now I know how the Toyota F1 team felt when, after 2 years developing their V12 engine before entering the sport, the FIA made V12 engines illegal.

If this continues I will seriously consider ending my vehicle building, selling all of my current range for 1L, therefore ending any significant contribution to the SL economy. If SL are intent on ruining all phys vehicles and turning SL into a static 3d world, I see no other option than to turn my abilities in the direction of static structures, which doesn't give me anywhere near as much pleasure (too much like my RL job!).

I might as well give up my hobby of exploring too, as traversing mainlands is becoming an ever more frustrating exercise.

Thanks a lot Lindens, I have a good year to look forward to, a year full of discoveries...like finding a new hobby to replace SL.

Yep, $5L (1cent US) is more than some can afford I guess, at least it keeps the griefers from rezzing dumb stuff. Maybe it's too much to ask for the right to use another persons land

How?
What is the problem that isn't too much problem?
