Jet Ski Jump on 3rd Rock Grid / OS 0.8.x with BulletSim Physics

 By avatar JayR Cela

      Hey I got ta tell ya I am all into testing out the newest and greatest stuff in OpenSim, but I got to get real here, it's breaking stuff like crazy for me:_( 

   This is unfortunately part of progressing from one a solid and stable system to a new and emerging and hopefully more robust platform, and I am sure that will eventually happen. In the mean time I would like to share with you a recent video filmed in 3rd Rock Grid  using the older OS 0.8.2.x 

          ( specifically OpenSim 0.8.2.1-DWG16c-3RGPost_Fixes       (Win/.NET) )

                  This is on 3rd Rock Grid the Great Central Lake region located at 

                               grid.3rdrockgrid.com:8002:Great Central Lake

    Here is my most recent video demonstrating what can be done with a bit older and more refined technology.

    Hello there anyone still reading this blog :_) I don't seem to have the extra time I once did to devote for covering Open Sim news or expressing my opinions, however I am still quite active in OS, particularly in 3rd Rock Grid with several ongoing large scale projects involving powered water sport vehicles. I truly love playing around with this stuff, recently I updated the Great Central Lake region in 3RG with a new and more challenging race course designed mostly for Jet Skis, it includes numerous jump ramps a few hazards to watch out for along with more wave hops added to my wave bump system, it's quite fun to attempt to make it thru the entire course multiple times at maximum speed with out experiencing some sort of crash.

    The Jet Skis are Full Perm with a great script most everyone in already familiar with one variant or another, this particular one is very nice. I got this from Shellenn Ayres of the MetaVerseDepot Grid and its very clean, it also features the auto return  function, thus once the rider stands the vehicle returns to its original position, this can prevent a lot of problems I am currently experiencing  on this sim because people rezz multiple copies of the same boat when I use the llkill object function via a Rezz Board. Is not really a big deal, but for the Jet Skis as far as I am concerned this works best.

    As you can see my bump wave system has now been expanded to the entire 3x3 lake region.

    There are 11 jump ramps and lots of bump waves in between, so if you miss the ramps you will still experience the thrill of flying your jet ski through the air, and watch out for a few sneaky traps too. 

    If you've never been to the Great Central Lake before, it's a fun region always gradually improving.

 

    There is a beautiful night club inside with several outdoor area's for entertainment as well.

     Speaking of entertainment The Fabulous Wailers 1950s-60s Rock and Roll Band will be performing for their third performance at the lake on January 16 2021 at 11:00am grid time with 1 hour more of 50s-60s Rock and Roll recorded from the famous Ed Sullivan television show. So if you can stop on by for some great music or just want to grab a copy of the full perm jet skis, stop on by whenever you can.
