[Opensim-users] Sim size limits

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Actually, I think opensim-users is the appropriate place for this question.  I would say the dev list is more for active 
development topics.

On another note, I'd be incredibly surprised if Vastpark had any OpenSim heritage.  afaik it's a completely 
independently developed system.
