Sailing means crossing regions or sims (simulators) as they are often called. (switch on transparency) Keeping scripts low – avoid sim crashings Often HUDS end up outside the screen or are rotated and almost invisible, this way you can correct it.
TIP: if you mount any HUD on your screen you can move it around as if its a prim by simply editing and moving it. Also my own testing never proved any significant difference between a hud and gestures. My boat designer sources told me that this is not true. Rumour says that using so called gestures, which is basically a key-command to initiate a more complex key-command, is faster than a HUD. if you are a bit handy with building you can easily change and extend the command HUD by adding extra prims and commands. Some designers like Rubber Bunny supply third party solutions for the Bandits and other boats. Boats like the bandits IF and 60 have way too many chat commands and therefore a good HUD is a better solution. In my mind chat commands are for this reason not a very good option. No HUD needed, but you need to memorize the commands and find time to type them while you are sailing. A HUD also takes away real estate from your screen and it adds to your script weight.Īn alternative way to control your boat is using chat commands. Some builders even require you to wear the hud before you can rezz the boat. Disadvantages are you always need to have the HUD on, which is an extra action you need to take before you can sail. Advantages are clear, since you can simply push a few buttons to activate stuff. Boats are no exception, so many designers use HUDS to control their boat. HUDS are a popular way to integrate control from the avatar with the rest of SL. I have only good experience with the Firestorm viewer and very little with the original LL one which I consider suitable for beginners and not so much for sailors. In no particular order I discuss here a number of aspects which in my opinion should be considered. When sailing in SL your SL viewer plays a vital role as a means to control the ship and your navigation.
