[Opensim-dev] [Opensim-users] hypergrid teleports andnon-hypergrid simulators

[Brianna]

There is no need to waste grid positions just to enable HG maps.

What worked for us at the Birthday Event was to create a dual purpose region for HG and sailing practice. To the normal instance it appeared as a 100% water region and from the HG enabled it was a voyage to Ellis Island. With an osFunction TP it was a click and arrive, yet to another Avatar, a region to learn to sail.

the sailboat is not a vehicle
