I tried running 5.87 but... I had issues with it. It loaded the wizardry sim 3x the objects. In other words you could delete any object and there would stilll be 2 of the same object in the same spot. Additionally, it loaded only very little of other oars. So regions that were huge would only load like 200 mb. So not sure what is up with 5.87. I did however, find a complete save of 5.62 where i backed up the entire dreamgrid directory. So I copied that to a new production location and executed it, and im back in business. Since I have the storage space I may do this from now on.

I stumbled across something cool today. I have been working on a huge cluster of 6x6 regions, with all mis-matched, imported terrains. So there was a LOT of terraforming and blending, which can take a long time with the land tool. I discovered a debug setting "LandBrushSize" It normally maxes out at 11, but you can set it to cover a HUGE area and very quickly flatten out sim edges and smooth them, build mountains quickly, etc. You can get to the Debug settings with control-alt-shift-S and type "LandBrushSize" in the search box. It set mine to 30 or 40 to do large areas.

Central station
From here you get fast to Park Avenue/Central Park and old town red light district. Subway is still fake. Have to dig 4 km before a subway can run from Congress center over Park Avenue Plaza, Central station and Airport (perhaps expo center too) I should have done this first. Now it is more complicated with all the buildings.But ok.

It seems like people crave a balance between connection and autonomy.
Belonging to a community offers support, camaraderie, and shared experiences, but having personal space and privacy is important for self-expression and maintaining individuality.

Dear Music Lovers,
do you like the 80ies? Also some Nu Disco?
In the playlist are also some funkrock, hardrock and punkrock songs....
If you are free on Sunday Evening in Europe, try out Djane Aphras Mix!

I put out the avatar clone machine, that we had discussed earlier. It is a concentual "donate your body to the dance machine" script. A person who wishes to donate types "clone-me" in chat. It generates a preview, and the person types "confirm" in chat again to finish donating their appearance. It's at our club on the welcome region. Follow the paw prints. :) There is a vendor box next to it, that will give you a copy of the board for your own use.

Thank you @FerdFrederix for giving us a platform where we can create magic.

if you come to Big City Life you need patience. lol First to load in cache and then to drive with public transportation like bus and train. (but you can drive with taxi or any other car too)
There are already driving 2 blue busses with each 40 min routes. The green bus is only driving close to shops and is in the city. This tour is just 7 min long.
The Maglev Tram brings you also to suburbs and country side. There are two trams. But one tour is 20 min long.
The Santa Fe is the fastest and just needs 15 min for a circuit.
The Sydney City train is slow and needs 23 min for a circuit.
So if you wait at bus stops or at railway stations, then take your time.
It could be that the Santa Fe is not driving. But then it has home at landing point railway station and you can start it by yourself. Just click on locomotive and you get blue menu. First you click "align" and then "start". That's it. (Listen if the Locomotive really says "align" and "starting". Align is important. If it has not said align then click once more align.)
It all depends how long the grid is running without a restart and how many people are on the whole grid. Usually if the grid is running one day all is working fine. But after two days it gets slower and if many people were on the whole grid the more. On Decadence Grid is also the biggest mall in opensim "Grimm". Grimm has usually always traffic. Just the Athena clothes building is 1 km long and you get all there.
But usually one day after restarting grid, all works perfect how it should.
Anyway there is no guarantee that all busses and trains arrive punctually, although I am German. lol Our Deutsche Bundesbahn is not anymore that punctually too. lol

But you can also fly with helicopter or planes. The planes start at airport, of course and fly in altitude about 200 meters. One starts at Hangar and one at Terminal 6. There was another at terminal 4 but this would have been too much. lol Be sure you have a good computer and can use 1024 distance draw. Otherwise you would not have fun.
For the 4 helicopters it is the same. But the blue helicopter is just flying at 60 meters altitude and you can reduce distance draw to enjoy. The helicopters land at different points. Just the emergency heli starts and lands on roof of the Broadway building. Here you can watch a flight with it over central park.

I WANT TO REITERATE SOMETHING.

REGION WILL BE BACK UP LATER TODAY

SOMETIMES PEOPLE LIKE TO LIVE ON THE EDGE INCUDING ME, I LOVE DG. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU LIVE ON THE EDGE AND UPDATE DG WITH BETAS YOU RUN INTO ISSUES. THE GRID HAD LOADING ISSUES ALONG WITH LOADING OAR ONTO THIS REGION.

IT TURNS OUT THE ISSUE WITH GETTING THE REGION BACK WAS A CORRUPTED OAR. I HAVE ROLLED BACK TO A STABLE VERSION AND HOPEFULLY WILL NOW BE ABLE TO DO SYSTEM WIDE BACKUPS AND SHOULD HAVE NO MORE LOADING REGION ISSUES.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK FRED FOR ALL HIS HARD WORK!

REGION IS OFFLINE FOR NOW

If you have land in this region you will have go and reclaim it once its back online. you will have to re build.

I am so sorry this happend, not sure how but an oar got on the region and erased what was there.

And before anyone asks about recent backups, due to issues with dream grid we cant do any current backups until its fixed. once we get things settles, I will do a system wide backup as well as oars.

A PEICE OF ADVICE, DONT LIVE ON THE EDGE LIKE US AND TRY BETAS LOL THEY ARE CALLED BETAS FOR A REASON, STICK WITH THE CURRENT VERSION FRED SAYS IS STABLE.
