Abbotts aerodrome

Firstly, translation of the French word dirigeable with WordReference.

The photo is not really representing what I will be piloting...now!




I was welcomed in Abbotts by a very nice person, born in Second Life in 2002!

Millie Thompson

[2008/02/05 13:19] You: hello
[2008/02/05 13:19] Millie Thompson: Hello.
[2008/02/05 13:19] You: do you know where I can buy a plane?
[2008/02/05 13:19] Millie Thompson: Sure, down on the runway here to the south you can find various aircraft for sale.
[2008/02/05 13:20] You: this way?
[2008/02/05 13:20] Millie Thompson: Yes.
[2008/02/05 13:20] You: thank you
[2008/02/05 13:20] Millie Thompson: Go out the door then fly down to the runway.
[2008/02/05 13:20] IM: Suke Heron: Trying to put script in my plane...
[2008/02/05 13:20] You: I am lost, I can't see the walls and the floor of this place
[2008/02/05 13:20] Millie Thompson: You can demo aircraft before you purchase them.
[2008/02/05 13:21] IM: Suke Heron: If I don't we will have a large ornament in the living room
[2008/02/05 13:21] You: it is rezzing very slowly
[2008/02/05 13:21] Elevator - 20070408: Going to Level 2
[2008/02/05 13:21] Millie Thompson: What kind of connection do you have?
[2008/02/05 13:21] You: a very slow, 512k
[2008/02/05 13:21] You: maybe it's too slow to fly a plane...
[2008/02/05 13:22] Millie Thompson: Have you checked your bandwith settings in the preferences networking tab?
[2008/02/05 13:22] You: I think so, I will check it again
[2008/02/05 13:22] Millie Thompson: Chances are you'll need to play around with that.
[2008/02/05 13:22] You: I put it at 500
[2008/02/05 13:23] You: I see you in the air
[2008/02/05 13:23] Millie Thompson: You can also lower your draw distance as well.
[2008/02/05 13:24] You: ah yes
[2008/02/05 13:24] Millie Thompson: Often recomended for lower capacity connections.
[2008/02/05 13:24] You: it was too big
[2008/02/05 13:24] You: I put it at 64
[2008/02/05 13:24] You: it's better
[2008/02/05 13:24] Millie Thompson: ok.
[2008/02/05 13:25] You: but I increased it when I flyed a plane yesterday
[2008/02/05 13:25] You: because I didn't see the objects coming to me!
[2008/02/05 13:26] You: but I think it was a bad idea
[2008/02/05 13:26] Millie Thompson: Best place to fly would be in the vehicle sims. Fewer objects to suddenly greet you the... fun way.
[2008/02/05 13:26] You: where is it?
[2008/02/05 13:27] Millie Thompson: They're to the northwest of here..
[2008/02/05 13:27] Millie Thompson: Balance, Bethel, Brilliant, Fame, Fortuna, and Georgean are their names.
[2008/02/05 13:27] You: ok I can see them
[2008/02/05 13:27] Millie Thompson: Six simulators setup specifically for vehicles.
[2008/02/05 13:28] You: there seems to be few people there
[2008/02/05 13:28] You decline GLBT~I want to be your president! from A group member named BarceDona Oh.
[2008/02/05 13:28] You: nice:)
[2008/02/05 13:28] Millie Thompson: Yep, I often pop over there to play with vehicles.
[2008/02/05 13:28] You: You are not so SL child;)
[2008/02/05 13:28] Millie Thompson: :p
[2008/02/05 13:29] You: 2002, you are pretty old
[2008/02/05 13:29] You: a granma I would say
[2008/02/05 13:29] Millie Thompson: Yeah, I too part in Second Life's closed beta.
[2008/02/05 13:29] You: lol
[2008/02/05 13:29] You: thank you very much for your help
[2008/02/05 13:29] Millie Thompson: Got in primarily because of my internet connection, had 28.8 baud dial-up back then. ^^'
[2008/02/05 13:30] You: at this time it was common
[2008/02/05 13:30] Millie Thompson: Yep, was interesting back then.
[2008/02/05 13:30] You: I guess there were less objects to bump into
[2008/02/05 13:31] Millie Thompson: Yes.
[2008/02/05 13:31] Millie Thompson: For a wile Few of us knew how to build stuff.
[2008/02/05 13:32] You: don't mind I take some photos?
[2008/02/05 13:33] You: thank you very much again Millie
[2008/02/05 13:33] Millie Thompson: You're welcome! Take care and have fun! :)
