[Opensim-users] Real life heightmaps in opensim.

[InuYasha Meiji]

WQow two miles...  Lets see.  Like I told the list in my last post 
haven't had much sleep lately.  But 2 miles in  meters is 3218.688.  
Divided by 256m regions is 12.573.  You can't run a part of a region, so 
you have to round up to 13.  Since you said two miles square it mean you 
want a two mile by two mile, so that is 13 regions by 13 regions.  So, 
169 regions?  Yikes..

OR did my lack of sleep go way off someplace?
