Crossings, Viewer Settings, and a Firestorm Debug Option
Region crossings in Second Life continue to be one of the frustrating technical challenges for sailors, drivers, pilots, and anyone who travels. The problem isn’t new — but the conversation recently started again, especially with new users, and users that have never understood the problem. Thus, this post.
The only thing new on the subject is a Firestorm debug setting that some residents are experimenting with. So, I’ll write that first.
This post pulls together what I’ve learned from forum discussions, viewer testing, and a deeper look at how the viewer and simulator interact during a crossing.
