[sldev] The "Fix SL challenge"

[Harold Brown]

And what if the reason the truck doesn't make it from one end to the other
is because the truck is just scripted in a fucked up way?

Problems with a vehicle does not indicate a problem with SL other then with
that particular vehicle implementation.

So yes I'm sure someone could fix SL so that those "Fix SL" trucks run like
butter on a hot griddle from one side of the SL Grid to the other....  but
what is that fix going to do to every other vehicle in SL?

Yes SL has issues.. and they are being addressed.  But just like the story
of the blind men asked to describe an elephant... not everyone sees the same
issues with SL.  My wife crashes 5-12 times a day... I may crash once...
Friends complain about rez issues... I TP someplace and everything rezzes
quickly...

SL does work well "within its limitations"  but it is also not constrained
by those limitations other then falling over when they are exceeded.
