[Opensim-users] Sim size limits

[Mic Bowman]

Regarding the DB question... we use mysql rather than sqlite.

Imprudence supports the 10x10 minimap we needed. But the view distance in
this case is set in the simulator rather than the viewer. OpenSim does not
trim objects by viewers view distance but by a configuration variable in
the simulator. The viewer may also trim objects but thats separate. And
there are viewer debug settings to push the viewdistance beyond the slider
limits.
