Hey Everyone! 

The Places to Ride list was originally released in the past by Cerdwin Flanagan. This was such a great idea for both the Teegle Community and the SL Equestrian Community in general that we felt it would be great to keep it going. With that in mind there are a few things to make note of before we get into the locations and what they have to offer....

Ice Tech T700 Release Party!

 





Coming this Friday, September 16th, the release of an exciting new turboprop aircraft the T-700 by ICE Tech. The T-700 has been adapted to SL to provide a realistic turboprop experience.

The plane features a realistic flight model, smooth handling, dynamic flight controls, hud instruments, and includes an integrated SA GPS transponder and compatibility with the KellyFuel pump V3.1. Wait! I'm not done yet, This just keeps getting better!  The aircraft has been designed to be flown in mouselook, using the instruments on the dashboard. The plane also has an Instrument hud for those who prefer to fly with the external camera. It has also been optimized for stall/spin and VFR fight! 

  There are few aircraft in Second Life that will provide this level of flight simulator quality, and you can make it your very own!  Come to the reveal and release party on Friday, September 16th starting at 12:00 PM SLT at the SL Aviation Network Hangar at Cinsal airport. Demo flights will be available! Agrippa (27,107,46)

FIRESTORM UPDATE 6.6.3.67470

FIRESTORM UPDATE 6.6.3.67470

 September 9, 2022 

With our previous release being somewhat minor, this one could be considered a major update!

LOT’S of new shiny including some major code merges from Linden Lab bringing us to parity with SLV 6.6.2.

New QA Process and viewer update cadence.

Yes, a new update already! As was mentioned in the previous release post we have moved to a more rapid QA and release cycle. This will mean you will receive updates and fixes far more frequently. Our QA process now revolves largely around our in world Preview Group, of which YOU TOO can be a member! We issue a new build every week to this group, and after the 4th build is sent out, if no blockers are found… that build gets promoted to a Release Candidate. One week after that we aim to issue an official update. Viewer updates can be expected roughly every 6-8 weeks. This is the completion of the first cycle using this strategy and I must say, it has been a surprisingly big success. MANY thanks to our Formal Beta testers and all members in our (open to the public) Preview Group. Please consider joining the group to get the latest shiny all the time! Phoenix-Firestorm Preview Group....
