# '''At high altitudes, you can fly wicked fast without flight assist.''' In fact, you'd fly TOO FAST and become uncontrollable. If there is a platform up in the sky - you'll fly skimming over the platform at blinding speeds, until you fall off the boundaries of the platform and begin to fall. | # '''At high altitudes, you can fly wicked fast without flight assist.'''

# '''At high altitudes, 1 SL second != 1 SL second.''' The time interval passed to the llSetTimerEvent() seems to become meaningless. '''llSetTimerEvent(1.0)''' should cause a '''timer()''' event to fire every 1.0 seconds (or longer). Instead, it could be happening 2 or 3 or even 10 times every RL second! Even on a laggy sim - dynamics seem to change at higher altitudes. Why would an overloaded CPU find "second wind" at high altitudes - unless if certain scripts ran on the client? | # '''At high altitudes, 1 SL second != 1 SL second.'''

# '''It is possible to teleport a New Resident from one Orientation Island to another.''' In fact, New Residents can offer teleport to another New Resident on a different island. Pressing CTRL-V enables Admin Options (which allows a resident to use their SEARCH button, BUILD button and MAP). It also allows them to offer teleport to another resident. There is an inherent risk, though. If the TP fails (as it often does), the teleported resident may be bounced to another sim and not be able to to return... There is a workaround to get back, if they have not yet logged off... | |||

SL TriviaThese are things I've noticed about SL over the course of a year. In no particular order at this time:
