Ian Undercroft Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Emerald/Phoenix is so last year. Use Kirstens S21 if your PC/Mac is up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ophelia Pelazzi Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Phoenix has replaced Emerald. If you are a bit adventurous, you can also try Firestorm, the Phoenix version of V2 the way it should have been. They've cleaned up the code and made it super easy to customize it to look the way you want it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 some older versions of it are still allowed...but i think most people that were using those switched to phoenix finally..i haven't seen any old emerald viewers on the grid for a few months now.. ETA: Sorry that was a reply to the OP not to you Ophelia ..sorry about that..still getting used to the new forums ..hehehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Kirstens isn't bad, but I see nothing special in it to recommend it for users that aren't doing inworld photography or machinima. I suppose it has a slight edge over V2 in that the UI isn't quite as intrusive, and you get RLV support... but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishtara Rothschild Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Kirsten's is basically viewer 2 with proper shadows. Which means that it looks great if your PC meets its immense hardware requirements, but the interface sucks as much as LL's official viewer does. And if you turn off the shadows, it looks as crappy as any other v2-based viewer. If you're used to Emerald, you're best off downloading Phoenix.

Ceka Cianci Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Then there is Firestorm which is Phoenix's version of the V2 viewer as well which is on it's second pre-alpha.. it's becoming more adjustable..even having the older style profiles which were just added..it has the RLV as well and you can use the side bar if you want or get rid of it.. I don't believe they have the radar working on this one yet but i could be mistaken..I use both phoenix 977 and Firestorm..i actually have never crashed on Firestorm yet and get faster rezz times..but really phoenix rezzes pretty fast as well..the random crashes just kind of turn me off it some..but i'm sure it's some setting i am missing that could fix that.. some say FS runs like crap for them while phoenix will run great..then others it's the other way around.. If you are looking at getting used to the V2..i would go that direction of Firestorm..if you are wanting to stay with the 1.23's and an emerald fan..then phoenix ..
