New DSL Button Board At HQ!

DSL Button Board ver. 1.5

Important Update: Transition to In-World Info Button Board

Starting today, we are officially transitioning to the in-world info button board, which now contains all the pages and information previously found here.

This button board replaces the need to open your web browser to access current information. While this INFO page will still exist, it will no longer be actively updated and will serve only as an archive placeholder.

What to Expect

• Most buttons will provide a notecard with up-to-date information, including a revision date at the top so you can easily see when it was last updated.
• Other buttons will offer direct links to various DSL-related pages on the web.

Recent Updates

The DSL and YouTube Links page has been refreshed with current links to our video streamers.

Moving Forward

Please use the button bar at all HQ's for all current information going forward.

Acknowledgment and Thanks

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who contributed to the Fandom Wiki, Blogger Blog, and INFO page over the years. Your time, effort, and dedication since 2019 have been invaluable and are truly appreciated.

Feedback and Suggestions

I will continue to update information as it becomes available. If you have suggestions for new buttons, content ideas, or useful links, feel free to share them. I am always open to ways we can improve and expand our resources.

Current Contributors

Please send me updates as needed via PM or Note Cards in world and thank you!

Sponsors

If you would like to advertise on our button boards let me know and thank you!

Cheers,

Jazz

PS: We had a good run here since 2021!

2024 DSL HQ1 Winter Installation Inside And Outside Done

 

It has been a long year. I started this project mid summer and finally finished with it today! What you will find outside (and inside) of HQ1 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hugues/102/204/43 is my current display of off road vehicles, hand picked out of many :-) in a winter high desert setting complete with a tumbleweed or two intermittently rezzing and disappearing in front of your eyes. 

Every year as in many years past, I try and present something visually interesting at headquarters. Most of you just come over to pick up the navHUD and leave but this time come and take a look at all the vehicles I have arranged inside and outside in a high desert setting most of which were rewards given out over the past years as rewards.

You can also sit and enjoy some tacos and have a beer (or just a coffee or tea) and take some taco's home with you for a later mealtime :-) You can also rez one of Christie's buses at the bus stop to drive around the sim and see yourself in the background (if you have mirrors turned on) while you are at the stop.

Please let me know what you think. 

Whats on display outside:

::DisturbeD:: Taco Food Truck - Tal Ram (talram)

Frankenstruck - Cindy Henusaki

[SURPLUS MOTORS] CRAWLER v7.1 - Ĵυℓεs ηєνιℓℓє (jules.catlyn)

Vision Motors - DoSL Outlander Exclusive - ﺴო. ѵﺜحţℴﺤﺜﺼ™.ოﺴ (victoria.vortex)

BRB Scout 800a comp - Breezy Reveur (breezybreemartin)

// MWC // Warthog // XL KD // v1.2 - 6b61

Whats on display inside:

Permanent Display:

*CRM* ZRX - Christi Charron

*EXP* Super 80 - Christi Charron

*CM* Adler Mk1 - Christi Charron

*CM* YZF R1 Superbike - Christi Charron

Each weekend we try and complete the Grid Drive. In the following week, I make it a point to display the current rewards offered by our wonderful sponsors and they are usually parked near the front door of the building. Point being, this gives you the chance to remember what you received and to thank the creator/sponsor of your choice for providing a reward for us on that weeks drive.

Displays in rotation:

BRB Snowplow Scout 2.0 - Breezy Reveur (breezybreemartin)

1940 Firetruck Pumper - Mildred Marialla

[amc] Fury Christine - Doom Frenzy

Hots - 27 Bugatti - V2.0 GTFO - Hots (hotlips.steamweaver)

Snowmobile A (tracks fixed clear windows - 'ZZ Bottom' (foneco.zuzu)

1954 Bovine Sherbet snow plow v1 - ѦѕɧƖєy Տмɪt ƊҿֆàиϮα (ashley204.pizzaro)

F-5E Tiger II CH (Display) - Tig Spijkers

Vision Motors -Ski-doo V2.2 - ﺴო. ѵﺜحţℴﺤﺜﺼ™.ოﺴ (victoria.vortex)

Snow bike (rez land 2av 11i) - 'ZZ Bottom' (foneco.zuzu)

[SURPLUS MOTORS] Freccia v7.1 - Ĵυℓεs ηєνιℓℓє (jules.catlyn)

PSC-Rockwell  1.9 - Scholes Devin

As always, I want to thank all the great creators who sponsor our adventures with rewards and of course all the great people who struggle to create and assemble the grid drives each week that give us such a great time while we enjoy our day or night in Second Life.

Cheers!

Equestrian Trails Update For November 2024

Latest update from Shynne Nirvana. 

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... Jump Here

Japanese planes you can find in Second Life!

 

AtelierMukutan

From: https://mukutan999.wordpress.com/2023/01/25/о∀оノセカンドライフで買える日本の飛行機/

Found this the other day. You may find this info helpful.
Please contact むくたんღMukutan (mukuta.proto) for further info. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/111316

Good day everyone, I'm Mukutan!

Today I would like to introduce some Japanese airplanes recommended for Second Life.

Let's go!

◆introductory machine◆

This is an old cheap scalp product.

【THI Aircraft Division】 75% OFF

・THI Nakajima KI-27 ‘Nate’ FREE V1.0( free version)

・THI Nakajima KI-27 ‘Nate’ V1.0(Product version)

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Blacktail%20Ridge/177/74/160

It is an easy-to-handle airplane perfect for flight practice. The free version is unarmed.

【:1942:】 50% OFF

・:1942: A6M4-ZERO Fighter v5.0 BOX

・:1942: 99KanBaku D3A ‘Val’ v1.0 BOX

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/162079

It's a little old, but it's slow so it's easy to handle.

This is for people who are concerned about PC specifications and line speed.

【Yamato Factory】 75% OFF

・Mitsubishi-A6M2-ZERO-akagi-v2.6

・Aichikoukuuki D4Y1 (JUDY) v2.6

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/29662

Japanese airplanes, such as the Zero Fighter, are being reduced in price. Above all, the instructions are in Japanese!

The speed is relatively fast, so keep the throttle below 50% until you get used to it.

【Kundali Lab.】

・A6M2-N Type 2 surface fighter (light gray)

・B5N2 Type 97 No. 3 carrier-based attack aircraft (AI-301)

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/15728

This aircraft can be enjoyed by everyone from beginners to advanced players by switching between various modes.

Only the AI-301 has a "Tora-Tora-Tora" Morse code.

【M's R&D】

・C-1 Marine & Desert 1.7 *Japan Air Self-Defense Force

・ShinMaywa US-2(B) v1.1 *Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Neumoegen/70/45/64

The US-2 is a rescue flying boat of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force that inherits the genes of the Type 2 large boat!

【::AtelierMukutan::】

・Mukuta's_NakajimaKi-27(VICE)CMG (Free)

・Mukuta's_Ki43Oscar(VICE)v1.1

・Mukuta's_F1M2-Pete(TCS/VICE)

・Mukuta's_F-1/T-2(TCS/VICE) *Air Self-Defense Force

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/111316

I would also like to introduce some homemade fighter jets. This is also an introductory machine.

◆intermediate ◆

Although the aircraft is made of mesh, it is simple and not difficult to operate.

【Shana Aircrafts Store】

・SC: A6M2 Zero

・SC: Aichi B7A Ryusei

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Meridas/192/241/3002

Although it is the latest aircraft made of mesh, it behaves obediently and is easy to ride.

【AMOK】

・::AD:: F-4 Phantom II Export Pack I V1.1.1 *Japan Air Self-Defense Force

・::AD:: F-15J Eagle V1.2.1 *Japan Air Self-Defense Force

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Honah%20Lee%20Surf/109/125/23

AMOK for modern fighters!

◆advanced ◆

In addition to its realistic shape, it is a flight sim-like aircraft that pursues reality such as stalling.

【THI Aircraft Division】

・THI KI-61-I-Tei Hien

・THI KI-100-I-Ko Goshikisen

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Honah%20Lee%20Surf/104/142/23

There are four different types of Type 3/Type 5 fighter Hien. If it flies away, it will behave relatively honestly.

【Ptero( Sato-san) related aircraft】

・K-LYSMER A6M2b ZERO

・K-LYSMER ki-43-3 Oscar

・ki-43-1 hayabusa (Oscar)

・D3A1 Val (Karl's currently under development aircraft)

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sarcee/230/48/31

・”te”Craft E8N1box v1.1 *Although it is a scalp product, it is not inferior to a mesh product.

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tulagi/70/130/2001

◆extra edition◆

Although the following is not recommended for competitive use in terms of actual mesh image and compatibility,

The shape is wonderful, so please use it for ornamental collections.

【WilderSkies】

・COMBRAT ZERO

・Wilder Skies F6F Hellcat – Japanese Captured BOXED

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/169007

COMBRAT is incompatible because it uses its own Wilder Combat System.

The F6F also comes with a VICE version, but captured aircraft are easily shot by allies, so it's confusing.

【HaruMotors】

・HM A6M2b-AkagiBOX

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/13810

【JCA Industries】

・JCA Ki43-2 Oscar Ver 1.0

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/82569

Hmm, is this what you can think of with what you currently have?

If I find anything else, I'll add it to the list.

See you soon!

 From: https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/15913-important-update-on-the-second-life-blogger-network/

We encourage all of you to subscribe to stay updated with the latest and greatest from around Second Life. It's a fantastic way to ensure you don't miss out on any of the action!

MtFB Radio Memorial Day Special

Dear SL Community,

Memorial Day in the US is a day set aside to honor all those who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It became a federal holiday in 1868. From its 1868 to 1970 it was observed on May 30th. Since 1971 it is observed on the last Monday of May. 

We here at MtFB Radio support our troops and honor those who have paid the ultimate price to preserve our freedom. We have put together a radio special that will educate and entertain. Hopefully after listening you will gain a new insight and respect for this very special holiday. 

Respectfully,
Luke Flywalker
MtFB Radio Founder and CEO
