[Opensim-users] Varregion works :) but physics need update ...

[Justin Clark-Casey]

This is the case.  We say not to change things directly in OpenSimDefaults.ini because that can change between releases, 
sometimes changing parameters to make OpenSimulator work better or resolve other issues.  Hence, it's safer to override 
things in OpenSim.ini.  There are a few more details about this at [1].
