Cubey’s big list of bugs and “features” that affect vehicles in Second Life:
- No-object-entry parcels block all vehicles at any altitude, occasionally ejecting avatars and forcing them to relog. Fix: Allow vehicles to enter freely for a limited time, just to fly through.
- Full parcels block all vehicles at any altitude, etc. etc. Fix: exempt piloted vehicles and temp objects from prim counts.
- Access lines and banlines cause avatars to be ejected, and will return the vehicle to their Lost and Found. Fix: Bounce the vehicle off access and banlines, the way vehicles bounce off the map edge.
- SL sends an error message to an object’s owner if the object can’t enter a parcel, leading to IM and email spam. Fix: Don’t message the owner, or don’t message the owner if it’s a temp object.
- Vehicles appear to move haltingly or not at all, even when packet loss is low or nonexistent.
- Transitions across sim borders can take up to 10 seconds (at least) and will often eject avatars from the vehicle and force a client start.
- Controls become less responsive in busy regions, making it nearly impossible to steer.
Anyone else have vehicle bugs to add to that list?
