There was a time I could do this: llSetForce(<0.0, 0.0, 1000.0> * (llGetMass() * 9.8), FALSE); and, with that in an attachment, go zipping upward at around 1000M/s. Not it seems I cant manage more than 250M/s. Have I gone mad? Has SL changed? What mistake am I making here? Help, please! |

I've never been able to get above 250M/s so you're not crazy  I think the system caps the velocity limit at 250. It used to be higher I remember and it is more difficult for me to fly high and stay there a while

Try this
//Cancels Gravity
llSetForce(<0.0, 0.0, 9.8> * llGetMass(), FALSE);
//Makes you go up at 1000 m/s
try llApplyImpulse(<0.0, 0.0, 1000.0> * llGetMass(), FALSE);

Dunno. I can still get an extremely fast speed, but I haven't checked just how fast since it's still too much for the sims to handle and forces me to relog.
See if you can get a faster speed without using "Fly." Flight seems to damper speeds from llSetForce significantly, and when I shut it I end up going way too fast.

*scratches head* Okie... Yeah, I only get 250 if i'm NOT flying, 140 if I am. Wierd: if I set the number too high, my speed *decreases*.   IDGI |

IDGI Sounds like there's a magic number for the fastest speed. I tried an experiment by using six or seven scripts to push me, and I wasn't able to get past 250.

Using augmented flight gear, we routinely go to 5 to 10 thousand meters. One test pilot in our group has gone to 188 thousand meters. And there are reports of flights to 500 thousand, and one rumore of one flight to 2 million.
This is all very new territory up there and reports are inconsistant.
But there definately IS space up there.

But there definately IS space up there. I go up there all the time. It's black and your avatar is filled with holes!
