I really want to have a go at this. I was swimming in the Blake Sea last night and there were 3 of them racing.

Yes, I had that one too. I discovered BBX before the Mesh Shop.

Here is my list of boats plus a list of gifts I received from a certain company after messaging about an issue. I need a whole sim for that lot.

I am nearly there already Ina, with an inventory packed with boats Will be checking all those boats out. I might have tried the Bandit IF already and really liked it. I love the animations on the Bandits.

Ok, good to know, thanks Fritigern.

Hi Ina, I chose the Bandit 50/3 to add to my BBX SLB A1, A2 and A5. The Bandit 50/3 is really great as it adds a vlot more realism to the sailing and keeps you pretty busy. I have to admit, the Trudeau boat that allows you to change your standing position to counter balance the boat was very impressive. I guess it is the immersion I am looking for Thanks again for your advice.

Hi, please accept my apologies if this is the wrong place to post this question. Why was this area left unfinished? It would be great if they completed it as it would then open up the water and link a lot of areas together.

Will check that one too Ina, thanks again.

Thank you very much Ina, much appreciated.

Hi Ina, out of all the boats you have, which is the best for sailing?

Nice work Karl

Also YES to both suggestions.

That is very nice. I hope it will be good enough for you

Sorry for not getting back you all. I did it all from scratch and it then worked fine. So, you were all correct, It was something from my alt. I have this terrible habit of changing avatar mid build. Trust me, It is never going to happen again! Still experimenting as I cannot find the sweet spot for LOD. It might just be an issue with me hating things collapsing while other structures around don't.

Beautifully done!

I was using the hollow effect to create window space but it appears to be the case that hollowed walls are the first casualty in LOD. Back to blocking in windows it is.

Thank you for those kind words.

I had a weird one after this with the same prims exported to blender. There were suddenly small triangle issues and the prims went up to 31. I am pretty sure that I did the same steps as before. I will try again tomorrow to see if I can recreate the one in the image.

Finally got it right with the physics and the LOD. 21 prims down to 12, not as lean as others but I am happy.

I was using this video as a guide as well. After re-importing back in SL the physics were way too weak. Reduced the original 20 prim to 11 but was like blancmange.

I am going to re-create it from scratch, just to be sure. If I hit the same issue then I will post it in the the Creation/Mesh forum. Thank you to all for the tips.

Yes, definitely. I did make the mistake of using textures but have meticulously removed them and replaced with colours. Every block is mine

Hi, I have hit a brickwall when it comes to 'sav as' in Firestorm. Where am I going wrong? It is a linkset. 'Save As' is always greyed out. I originally forgot about the textures I had used but have now removed them all.

Just realised about not owning the textures but it still failed.
