🚀 OPENSim Network Grid Introduces the Flyboard!
Take to the water and FLY!
OPENSim Network Grid is continuing our development of interactive physics-based experiences with our new Flyboard system, built specifically for OpenSim.
This isn't just a vehicle that moves up and down. The Flyboard has been developed to give the rider a much more dynamic experience over the water, with forward flight, rapid lift, controlled descent, banking left and right, turning, hovering, and even backflips.
The system features twin high-pressure water-jet effects, a water-powered motor system, and a flexible particle hose connecting the Flyboard to its water source. The board pitches during climbs and descents and banks into turns, creating a much more convincing feeling of riding a real water-powered Flyboard.
🏄 Flyboard Features
- Fast water-powered lift
- Forward and backward movement
- Aircraft-style pitched climbing
- Left and right banking
- Controlled turns
- Controlled descent
- Hovering above the water
- Backflip capability
- Twin animated water jets
- Particle hose and water-power system
- Custom OpenSim physics development
This project is part of our continuing work at OPENSim Network Grid to create more advanced games, vehicles, physics systems, missions, and interactive experiences for OpenSim residents and Hypergrid visitors.
Come fly with us at OPENSim Network Grid.

BUNGEE JUMP NOW OPEN AT OPENSIM NETWORK!

Ready to take the plunge?

Our new Bungee Jump experience is now live at OpenSim Network, with a much more realistic motion system that gives you the feeling of a true elastic jump instead of a simple straight up-and-down ride.

Feel the fast drop, the hard recoil, the side-to-side swing, the body tilt, and the repeated bounces as the cord stretches and settles over the water.

This is part of our continuing work to make OpenSim Network more interactive, physical, and fun — with experiences built around movement, vehicles, games, and advanced scripted attractions.

Come try it, bring your friends, and see if you have the nerve to jump.

For those not aware, OSFest is now a fully Hypergrid festival where you can host events on your own grid or grab some space on the OSFest grid to exhibit or setup a store. Before OSFest in September, OSGrid tends to run its fundraiser which is why we didn't choose dates in that month. Following OSFest, Hypergrid International Expo will be in November then OSCC likely in December. Fall is busy on the Hypergrid with many other events happening so hopefully some of those will join in the fun with remote events instead of schedule conflicts so we can send them some avatars too Let's celebrate each other together. It's your OSFest!!
OSFest Performances and Dance Area for live music, DJs, comedy, readings, prose, fireworks, light shows, and burn events!

See you there!
SORRY, NO CHILD AVIES

Between the difficult days, a little light shines through.
A rainbow in the sky, a smile between us.
And for this moment, only one thing matters:
You are with me – and I am with you.
.................................................................................................
Zwischen schweren Tagen fällt ein wenig Licht.
Ein Regenbogen am Himmel, ein Lächeln zwischen uns.
Und für diesen Augenblick zählt nur eines:
Du bist bei mir – und ich bin bei dir.

So liebe Musikzuhörer und Lagerfeuertänzer,

I was creating a Landing Area for New People from Sinespace who have never been in Opensim and I thought I would post the most basic that most people look over for Mesh Clothing. Just my thoughts. BOM is back with some Mesh avatars.

New Look, and over 200 new modern luxury cars delivered.

Easy access no lag, Aprox 2000 Vehicles in all regions tp boards to get you where you need.

If you cant find what you need ask me

A Small but Important Update on Textures

Ina Beaumont recently asked if I could include all of the textures with my items, not just the PBR materials, so that people who are not using a PBR-enabled viewer can still enjoy them properly.

I gave this some thought. I had been hoping that most everyone was moving toward PBR-enabled viewers, but Ina made a very good point—not everyone is there yet, and not everyone uses Firestorm.

So, going forward, I will include the complete set of textures that comes with the model, including the traditional textures as well as the PBR materials.

A quick note about texture sizes: please feel free to reduce them to whatever size works best for you. I have experimented with reducing them myself, but on many of the items I find that they become noticeably blurry, so the original size generally gives me the best results.

These are the textures produced with the model pack, and with the number of things I create, I simply don't have the time to resize and test every individual texture before release.

Please resize them as you wish and use whatever gives you the best balance between appearance and performance on your grid.

Thank you, Ina, for bringing this up. It was a good suggestion, and hopefully including everything will make my creations more accessible to everyone. ♥

I have added all the textures to the Hot Damn BBQ (sorry for the return trip to grab them) Also the Butterflies are Near Choker at Monentes Jewelry. Thank you Ina for helping me to realize the obvious, not everyone has or likes PBR!
