The New Object Blocking Feature Is a Nightmare !

Does Linden Lab Hate Pilots ?????????????

The New Object Blocking Feature Totally S**KS! __ (I.M.H.O.)


The new Object Blocking Feature is a nightmare for pilots. A pilot will be flying along enjoying a flight and BAM! > He/She sees a little blue box appear in the lower-right corner saying "......object can't enter parcel,....yada, yada,yada," and the next thing he/she knows is his/her aircraft is gone and he/she is 1000ms underground in an unstoppable spin which requires a relog to get out of. There is no warning whatsover -- you can't see it. feel it, smell it, or taste it until it's too late!

During Beta testing of this feature I commented on this. Evidently LL could care less about the activity of flying aircraft in SL, which could be one of its best features.

"New Parcel Object Blocking Feature ??

The Beta Release notes for 1.13 include:

* Parcel owners can block objects from entering their parcels


How high in altitude will this blocking function operate??

I am concerned about the effect of this option on flying aircraft in SL. If it would operate to block objects at altitudes say above 100 meters it could kill flying aircraft in SL.

It sounds like most parcel owners would enable this option to prevent projectiles of various kinds from entering their land. If so, and if it were to have effects at higher altitudes above ground level, it would ruin whatever enjoyment is left to flying (after the problems with Sim border crossings and security fences).

Is Linden Labs now taking its cue from the now discredited Presidency of George Bush by placing resident "security" above our personal in-world freedoms ??"

" I believe that it currently is to infinity (and beyond). You make a good point though, and the feature can be adjusted. "

There needs to be a limit. Parcel owners have no reason to be concerned about objects above the build limit to be sure; so, at the very least, there needs to be a 1000m restriction on owners' rights to property. You can't buy airspace in RL and you shouldn't be able to do so in SL.

This is a Bug. A person should be able to move object into another peice of land if an AV is sitting on it. THis was working in Beta at one point have not checked it again. I guess the score is now 51 for griefer and 0 the residents. Have you checked this or just read to much into it and did not test it?

So far the score for pilots is:

* Crossing sim border into access controlled parcel: lose your plane, thrown into limbo. STRIKE ONE.
* Crossing sim border into full parcel: lose your plane, thrown into limbo. This happens at ANY altitude. STRIKE TWO.
* Crossing sim border into blocked parcel: lose your plane, thrown into limbo. STRIKE THREE.

I guess we're out.

(PS: 768 meters is the standard building limit)
