The question has been fully and completely answered and the combination of both solutions seems to have done the trick

@BilliJo Aldrin Because some of us love our country and defend it and don't have a choice of where it is defended. I hope it is ok with you if I miss my family after being someplace that I don't even know the name of and don't know for how long.

Some people have a lot harder careers than others. I have the finest group of men and women around me that strongly beg to differ.

No it isn't . We spent a small fortune making our avatars look almost exactly like our real selves and on the R&R we want to have the family around without people disturbing us. I am 5 days on and 2 days off and we have an agreement that my wife gets the same R&R scheduled depending on the time zones we are in at the time.

Due to our careers we never know when or where we will be deployed so it's just a home base I set up so we can keep in touch a little better than a phone call at the end of the day.

I just don't want my kids barging into our house when we are making popcorn and stuff at 2 in the morning. 3D life set us continents apart because of our careers so I wanted a place where the family can be together virtually when we can't be together in 3D without them seeing any popcorn making lol.

The orb around the house with instant eject set and a ban line around the parcel containing the house within the orb seems to have done the trick. Thank you most of you for your very helpful answers

Thank you for answering the question completely. Yes I have control over the island from shore to shore and only want to stop my adult children from "camera viewing" into our house. They have there own house on the island that they can do what they want with.

So you can't stop people from teleporting to your island without banning everyone on second life except the 9 people that I want on it ?

The whole estate is surrounded by water on all four sides and I set advertising the estate to "No" . I can't fly off the island but people can fly on to it ?

I pay Linden 307$ CAD for the estate , island or whatever it's called. I make people part of the group that is allowed on the island (I don't have to ban everyone I don't want on the estate I hope) The people on the white list are allowed on the island (I don't collect anything from them and sell them the parcels @ 1$ ) Set the whole estate as a no fly zone (can I make the whole estate no teleport as well? ) With those conditions in place can I enforce no looking at the avatars in the parcel from outside the parcel on the estate using ban lines ?

So there is no way to keep someone off of your "private island" ?

So if I made a separate subgroup from the main sim group and banned everyone not in the subgroup explicitly from the parcel and set the whole private island as no fly then it should work ?

So if I kill off flying sim wide then a ban line would be effective privacy against this ? At almost 300$ per month I am looking for someway to have a private party on a parcel and only have those invited being able to interact with guests at the party.

So if I make individual groups per parcel and then set up ban lines around the parcel can the people inside be free from people "spying" on them from any where else on the sim as long as they are banned from that parcel ? Ie , John can't camera view into Jane's house and spy on Jane while she is in the house and she has her avatar set to invisible while on her parcel ? I want to set up 3-4 parcels where only certain groups have access to view the avatars in that parcel. eg , PGPVT1 has no access to view the avatars in PGPVT2 while each is in there own protected parcel. I wish you can just kill the radar , map and mini map sim wide , that would be much easier.

To be private you need to set all of the avatars to invisible ? That defeats the purpose of the sim if nobody can see anyone else. I hope there is a fix to this , it makes it not very enjoyable when anyone that wants to can just barge into a building unannounced and completely invisible to it's occupants. The camera seems to ignore any security in place including ban lines , security systems , buildings , no fly sims and even sky boxes. There is no way to make sure that you are alone without each person having their own complete sim ?

I tried the mainland and there was no privacy so I am on my own sim now. Is there anyway to stop the camera from looking through walls sim wide or even on a parcel. There seems to be a complete lack of privacy that I hope has been fixed in some way.

Thank you for the responses and I am starting to see that I may have made a bad choice. I was nudged in the direction of Bento animations and I bought a "Gerald full bento" pack by Vista Animations for 2000L$ and the animations are almost creepy lifelike. I looked at Aeros and I am loving the HUD much more than the !Xcite HUD as well but haven't tried one yet.

I have purchased the X5 item and a 200L$ skin pack with it. The item hud installs and when I install the item it's not there. Whether I wear , add , attach to HUD or attach the skin shows up as my avatar holding the box and when I run through the installer (on myself) and nothing. Does any one have any idea of how it works or is X5 not really a good choice and I am wasting my time on this ? I have tried in the LL viewer and in Firestorm (latest of both and from the official sites) Thanks for any help

Hello , In the LL viewer when I left click on the script drop box it runs the scripts and the menu pop up comes up to play the loaded single and double animations (combobox) and in Firestorm left clicking does nothing. I am standing in the same location in both viewers and am on my own SIM with scripting allowed. The scripts were installed while using the LL viewer. Any help would be greatly appreciated , thank you

I have wasted about 5000L$ on 2 homes that I cant use and want to find out how you shop for homes to buy without scrolling through endless rentals and houses that come with land. Thank you to anyone that can help.
