Second Life Server 1.40.2.206345 / Havok 7

This new simulator version has now been installed in some regions of the main grid. It contains bugs that affect some train operations.

SVC-5880 Vehicles "Jumping" when crossing prims. This is a worse version of a bug that first appeared when Havok 2 was used in SL. Rather than being fixed it now affects the new 'Welsh' 1st and 3rd class passenger coaches when they cross straight girder track sections. The wheels will stick at the end of a section causing the coach tip up. There is no present fix for this. If LL persists in installing the bugged version I will look into a rebuild of the track or coach to attempt to work around the bug.

SVC-5889 Small vehicle (steam engine) has 3 degree y-axis rotation while moving. This makes the small engine ride 'nose-up'. Cause unknown, but it appeared only with version 1.40/Havok 7.

Some new bugs involving 'touch' events on various prims where fixed, but the old bug listed back in February is still present. It affects the chimney, lamp and whistle. You can sound the whistle while driving the train by typing '/1 toot' or '/2 toot' if on channel 2, etc. Touching the chimney to reach this page or the lamp to change its setting works when the engine is stopped.

There appears to be a bug in SL preventing operation of the whistle (touch_start event) while the engine is moving.

Wengen Railcar Line

Ride the new Wengen to Smithers Bluff Railcar line while you can. I built the Wengen to Okemo Gorge section, sponsored by Sejong Linden who has a great vision for SL. It connects to the ONSR railcar line that runs from Okemo Gorge down to Smithers Bluff. This is likely the only long-line rail service operational in SL at present.

The future of the Wengen to Okemo Gorge section is in doubt now, due to Linden Lab politics. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Wengen/69/209/92
