  1. I wanted to do as much data checking before posting, checked net speeds, network and so on, before doing in-world tests - and I have to say, I'm left a bit baffled (more then usual!) So here we go... I log in following the Wednesday restarts, to our home in Best. Everything loaded fine, didn't really see any issues, except for one "slow-ish" menu - beyond that, again nothing out of the ordinary. Something provoked me, call it a whim, to check statistics, and I admit when I did, my jaw dropped, and I let out a comment that would make an old salty sailor blush, when seeing the rather extreme amount of packet loss. Now, I've been on weak net in the past, in fact spent most of my years on SL, on wireless (which yes, works, but sucked!) so I've seen my fair share of packet loss, drops and other "wonderful" issues. However, since switching to fiber, I haven't seen much if any packet loss 0.7 at the most and on a rare day, slightly more. This afternoon, I felt the stat was going to bust, as it was in the 70s...not 0.70, but 70%, and that was after I decided to check. So I relogged, checked it, another rather horrid high number, but I did notice while watching it, it dropped like a rock....slow moving rock, but dropped just the same. In the past, I've seen this happen upon logging on to our home sim in Best, then when hopping to our shop in Badger, it seems to clear or lower to 0.1% or even 0.0, basically going back to normal. So again, on a whim, I relogged but logged into our shop in Badger, checked the stats, 0%....and it stayed at 0%. As soon as I tp back home, packet loss starts to climb again. The weird part of it all, as in the past, I saw issues with packet loss - lag, latency, menu's slow to respond, and yet with this huge number, I'm not seeing any of that, which I guess can account for faster net speed over all.. So to test things further, I relogged to Badger again, then flew from our shop to Norway in an H160. I checked the stats several sims later around Idlewood in Bellisseria, and it had jumped up to 9.0%. Then checked again a few sims later and it was still climbing...however, further on, it began to drop. So I figured, once on to Blake it would drop the rest of the way...nope...if anything it fluctuated and then increased. Thing is, again, and I can't stress this enough, I didn't notice any oddities due to packet loss that's normally seen - no crossings issues, and for those that know, the H160's controls tend to be very sensitive so any lag or latency, can throw things off, but it didn't happen..the flight was actually really good, in fact only saw one or two "slow" crossings in the normal slow areas over Blake. So to run another "test" I hopped back to Badger, cleared my cache, relogged back in to Badger, and again 0% packet loss. I tp to our club in Remonta, still no loss, tp'ed home back to Best and as you can guess, it shoots up again to over 25%. So I quickly tp to our other shop in Symmetry, (where I'm at now watching the data) and am watching it slowly drop. It's at 19.0% now, and I've been here 17 minutes or so. I know our home in Best is on an RC sim, but until a little while ago, I didn't know which one specifically it was on. After checking region details I see it's on Le Tigre. Our locations in Badger, Symmetry, and Remonta are all main channel.. Oh and as a side note, my ping has been normal: between 80-110. highest I say was around 120 for a second or two, but nothing outrageous that I've seen come with packet loss in the past. Max bandwidth is set to 800 (yes I know I can run it higher, but I'm paranoid lol) My question is, is this a result of the new PBR that's been added to Le Tigre today..as in, is there some issue with it? And if so, will switching to a viewer that supports it, rid me of the packet loss? **I'm currently running the latest Firestorm (NOT the PBR beta version) 69596 to be exact.** *** Further test edit - I just dropped in Harwich in Bay City which is also on Le Tigre and the packet loss started to climb from where it had dropped when back on a main channel. It shot up from where it had dropped at 14% to 19% but then dropped down to 18.5 ***
  2. as of 12:50 am slt, still having the issues in Badger, Remonta and Symmetry.
  3. Yup....just got that as well. At first, refreshing the page seemed to clear the error, but that only worked once or twice.
  4. You should contact Kelly Shergood from Shergood Aviation, they've developed something called "Weather 2.0" that puts simulated weather, which various Shergood heli's react too. Maybe it can be integrated into sailing/boating through something like Kim Farleigh's wind compass. Here's a link to the current weather in SL - https://shergoodaviation.com/weather.php
  5. Is this what is known as a Lindenpalooza? 😁
  6. I just logged in no less then 2 minutes ago without issue. Try restarting your computer. If that doesn't work, try restarting your router.
  7. To add to what Rolig says, if it's not a premium account, or once it's downgraded, it will still take up to 60 days (to possibly 90 days) for it to be deactivated.
  8. Just road through the area and it's been fixed! 😁
  9. Thanks for that. An owner of the land (I believe) next to the landslide said they had filed a report as well, so here's hoping. As of this morning the roads still blocked though. 😬
  10. While venturing out on route 5, I crossed on to Myron ( http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Myron/126/2/33 ) and came across this - https://gyazo.com/2edba960c817a34e138c9d4016611741 https://gyazo.com/810d8c8450df74a66dab7a18b2a3a44b https://gyazo.com/7e3f3dfb2122d5626555ba3de990671e The section of land according to "about land" says it Linden property. My guess is, either there was an earthquake, landslide, or there was some really bad terrain editing...
  11. I went to check the grid status today from dashboard, and first attempt I get a 503 error, 2nd attempt it either loads in epic snail mode, or I get another 503 error. Anyone else seeing this issue? (side note - everything else seems to be working fine on dashboard, also if I go directly to the grid page, that loads without issue) https://gyazo.com/695d7a118e06182b7e692aa66b48e10f
  12. Correct that is from The Mesh Shop, but it's the Nacra 17 not the Flying Shadow.
  13. You can try Sailor's Cove - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Race Rock/124/43/2 It's not the largest most wide open of areas, but there's plenty of room for you to test out and try out things, before making your way, via one of the several outlets, to Blake.
  14. I just tp'ed from 578370 to 577734 and back to 578370 , didn't see any issues, plus everything around me and on me loaded and is attached. Not sure how much difference it makes, but I did do a tex and inventory cache clear before logging this morning prior to the restarts.
  15. I believe they go off every 12 hours or so. As for what specific time, for the life of me I can't remember.
  16. This is the free version (that charges a 5% commission fee per sale ) https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/CasperVend-FREE-Networked-vending-system-Fast-reliable-networked-delivery-full-transaction-tracking/1394191 This is the system we use at our shops, it's not free, but worth every penny - https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/CasperVend-Premium-Vendors-Elite-Web-Based-Networked-Vendor-System-Vendor-Boards/1395043 Main Caspertech MP shop url - https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/49647
  17. *disregard I was thinking vendors not MP (if you're wanting to sell stuff via vendors there is a limitation setting for caspevend, that limits one purchase per person)
  18. Word I got recently is sign ups (for the associated SnH at least) won't start until May. If you haven't yet, join the SLB group, should be some info in it, once they start opening registration for other things. Also keep an eye on the blog feed/news on dashboard there's always mention there, again, when they open things up for registration.
  19. I'm going to use an old chef's philosophy, when it comes to this questions, which I hope helps. It has to originally do with BBQ, which many folks will argue who has the best or makes the best, but for this topic, we'll swap BBQ for boats. Everyone, including myself can tell you and give many reasons of which maker makes the best boats, and then we can give you many reasons of why the other makers make the worst boats. In that sense, we're all both in our own, right, and yet at the same time, we're all wrong. So who makes the best boat then? That comes down to you. No, I don't mean learn how to build and script of course, what I do mean is head out to every boat maker you can find (and there's a good number of them) and demo everything that's on offer. Then you'll find who makes the best boat, because you'll find the boat that best fits You. I know, it's not the quick and easy answer, and time isn't always available for such things to be done. But in the end, what's better - a boat that everyone likes/dislikes that may or may not, sort of or possibly, eventually, right away, or never fit and work for you? Or a boat that You love?
  20. I've been sitting here trying to remember last time it was anything near like this.. You're right, it has been a good while, especially for something at this level. I have been seeing some folks logging back on (via my friends list) so maybe things are improving, of they just got lucky. Me, I'm stuck at our, about to be, former home, waiting for our new place to come back online...such is the irony of deciding to move on this very day lol! 😝
