Hi, Having an issue on my land and can't work out what is wrong.

Nobody can drive vehicles on the land, but i have allowed scripts etc. Does anyone have any suggestions (polite ones please :o) )

Thanks in advance for any help.

i don't have much experience with vehicles, i don't even use vehicles really because i find the physics engines too inaccurate. or maybe the few vehicles i've used have just been poorly scripted, i dunno. but it could be something with the phyics engine. is it not letting them drive them at all, or is it simply not working correctly (steering is wacked, moves too slow, too fast, etc). if it's not working at all, is it vehicles they own or you own? most vehicles are owner only. i have had some trouble simply walking the past few days, i don't think it's lag because all other functions work normally. and i had a problem the other day. i couldn't fly downwards either, the only way to get down from my current position was to fall or tp home. (i was in my home sim). i went to a few other sims and i didn't have that problem until later on. it seemed to be connected to the sim restart since the sims i visited had just been restarted shortly before i had the problems

Hi, thanks for replying

I have tried my own, my husband has tried his and I got a friend to try also. And I went to another land and checked, all was working there, so I think there is something on the settings of my land, but not sure so thought I would ask :)

hmm, could be, do you own the sim? if not you could try contacting the sim owner and asking them. maybe a sim restart is what it needs?

that's really odd lol. how far up in the sky? it could be lag then. i've noticed in many places when i'm higher up i have less lag because it's less things that need to be rendered

Do you have a whole bunch of 'really pretty trees?"

press CTRL-ALT-T to turn on "Transparent" items.. and see if your car is possibly intersecting some other prims that you didn't know were there.

I did see a mainland sim once where vehicles wouldn't work, the stopped dead on entry on the road, it needed something reset and enabled, so I put a support ticket in and LL fixed it,

Did you send a ticket to LL?
I once did that when my TP did not work. All they did was to flip a bit in the sim setting and everything was fine:)

if collisions are turned off vehicles won't run at all. bullets stop dead after they exit a prim. you may want to check to see if collisions are disabled. world, region/estate, debug tab

Hi, thanks for the response, i checked the estate rules, and colisions and scripts are allowed already. so no clues
