Planes, Trains and Automobiles

[Abnor Mole]

What are your favorite vehicles you use to explore around Bellisseria? Where do you like to go and why? Please share with slurls if you have them!

Custom version of this, (its great as it is but when I learned more about linking items inside vehicles I made my own design),   https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/1912-Wheeled-House/15690934 

I usually start at the rez zone area here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dimanche/189/113/23. 

Also love to start journeys from here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Red Hook/96/127/33 - preference on steam trains and again I like the Victorian areas as well as log and camper areas for travelling because I don't like sand that much and my brain hasn't extended to Chalets or further yet...

I can walk, run and fly.  I don't bother with vehicles.

Where do I like to go?  Hmm, I don't think I have developed any favorites.  I spent some time looking around a few of the community centers.  I watched trains for a while.  It's kinda funny when they pass through each other.

I would say it's all worth a look.  Nice scenery, better looking structures and infrastructure than around my mainland home.  Much less "weirdness" in the sky, too.

I'd maybe try a small open-air road vehicle if I wasn't satisfied with walking and flying.

I don't really have any favorite places.  I have a list of rez-zones from one of the Bellisseria groups (reminds me that I need to pull a new list) and I tend to just randomly pick one and go.

I "attempt" to navigate the roads with various wheeled vehicles, but I suck at driving in SL -- can't steer worth a darn.  Maybe it has something to do with the things that I try to drive.

 

I tried flying once.  While I was worse at steering, more things in the air are phantom, so flying into them didn't cause the same problems as driving a wheeled vehicle into something on the ground.

My favorite is a Segway to ride on while I explore.  So much that I put up a Segway rezzer here:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Aoi Hanabatake/17/130/21  Touch to rezz your own and ride as long as you like.  Have fun!!

[Leora Greenwood]

I also love balloon travel as there is altogether less steering involved!  Thanks to Quartz Mole, these rezzers will rez a balloon for you to board and will delete the balloon if you fall out during your ride so our skies will not be littered with balloons.  Once you board, you will have a choice of animated poses and can say "start" to begin your ride, using your directional and up/down keys to control your ride.  I put these two balloon rezzers are in the Newbrooke regions at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Judge Knott/249/151/22  and in the Sakura regions at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Aoi Hanabatake/29/118/21

Quite often I'll just use old fashioned flying, but when I feel like a vehicle I love wearables, because I don't need to hunt out a rez zone, or worry about it de-rrezing mid travel for some reason like region crossings. My favourites are a little helicopter, a bike (really cheap on the marketplace but is so useful), and for water a canoe. I have a few other vehicles but these are usually my go-to's.

I like wearables too - that way you don’t have to worry about rezzing anything. 

[Petronilla Whitfield]

I also prefer vehicles that attach rather than ones that need to be rezzed. I like riding a horse (if I can include that as a vehicle) through Belli, especially over the mountains and along the coasts. In the fantasy area I prefer a unicorn. If not on horseback, I often use a bicycle when exploring neighborhoods. A canoe, floating log, or a duck pool floatie are my favorites on the water. 

[Cinnamon Mistwood]

I use either vehicles from rezzers on my own parcel or wearable vehicles.  I can usually keep control of them.  My start area is usually my own land.  I have used the boat rezzers at the Fantasseria Community center and balloon rezzers in the chalet regions.

Horses is Fantasseria.  Bikes in the  Newbrooke, Trad, and Vic areas. Kayaks and jetskis in stilt and houseboats regions. 

I've never explored the stilt regions on land in a vehicle.

A floatie ring is the best way to travel!

On land, the traditionals have decent roads, though newbrooke looks like a place to try when I have driving time. Mostly I wander around looking for cars to steal (no photos of that, you can't prove anything) but sometimes I use one I actually own. I was planning to drive my pumpkin car around this Hallowe'en, as I didn't get around to it last year.

The camper area around Campwich Forest is nice for horses/rideables. Lots of trails and nice scenery. I need a better flying thing for fantasy, as I just fly the usual way at the moment.

I've used a train and jumped on other people's trains before.

Well the Mudskipper ATV works well on roads and rivers... I love to take it around the trads and houseboats areas can easily swap between land and water, inclines are no problem.

On water I love the rivers around the Trads area and often start at Campwich because it is a short walk from a trailer I have. Ideal for a bandit 170 for motoring...

Or a Bandit If for sailing....

 

[Aethelwine]

For flying there is always the Pirate chicken airship...

And the good old Terra Stingray.... flies nicely....

and works as a submersible too

Oh okay....hold on

I really want that Mudskipper...think that's my next vehicle

I love to fly over Belli and find new places like this waterfall. Helicopters are great because you can stop and start, hover over somewhere cool and find new places pretty easily.

and there's more sorry

I like to auto cruise in my Bandit Cadet or Jetski because they are fast and safe due to low LI. I prefer to cruise slowly in channels or narrower water so I can watch the houses and landscape and not have to press my keyboard constantly, just some stearing. My next adventure will start here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hydrant/204/177/23 and i will try to go north. If i dont go by boat I prefer my Teegle which can autorun too  ^^ 

 

[Evangeline Arcadia]

I forgot to mention my horse -  Great for exploring the rural parts of Bellisseria:

Dear LL, just one more excellent example of our desperate need for a "WOW" reaction option!!

[Rufferta]

I have travelled Bellisseria many ways - balloons, planes, automobiles... I lack the coordination skills to navigate at high speeds,  though, so I often choose to walk, or use a 'wearable'

vehicle like rollerskates, a horse,  a canoe, or a bicycle.  I don't cover much territory that way, but I also don't end up landing in a ditch as often...

The trains in Bellisseria are also excellent for seeing the different landscapes, although they don't go everywhere.

 

This was shot in Grover, wearing an LDPW bicycle.

I haven't been in Second Life much recently, but on Mainland I love to try the different pod tours, and wish we had something like that for Bellisseria.

[Aethelwine]

Tall ships good too..

[Hedy Heartsong]

Plane, boat, airplane, bubble usually headed to visit a friend somewhere in Belli.

[Eddy Vortex]

I don't have a place in particular.  I usually step outside my house and pick any direction to go on my skateboard.

[Tary Allen]

I still think that walking around and/or flying are the best ways to explore. 

When not walking I tend to wear attachs like my horse, a bicycle  and a paddle  (this last one is really good to the small watercourses and I'm in love with some of the chalets areas). In open water I usually go boating around and it is something I love to do.

Another great and fun way  is travel by train.
