Flying high in Second Life is quite a boring thing to do (though with the b.places HUD it fast as ever). I wanted to see if the symptoms as listed on http://www.sluniverse.com/edition/2004/10/exploring-second-lifes-highest.html still occur. And for me, they don't. The only thing that happens is that the vertical resolution decreases. Above 1 million meters (1000 km), my avatar just disappears, and even when I teleport back to ground level, I remain invisible (to myself at least) until I relog. The sky does not appear to change at all, on the contrary of what is described on above blogpost.
Maybe I'll go higher, though with invisible avatar, to see if at some point it will.

I also plan to do it again with WindLight, but that'll be something diferent. :)

[FireballKupa]

How'd he get that high?

[nemoDaedalus]

@FireballKupa You need a special attachment, I've used the b-places HUD for this.

[MrCaioable]

Why u are deforming

[nemoDaedalus]

It's a side-effect of the Physics engine or the renderer or something I guess. The higher you go, the lower the resolution gets and that causes it.

[jorden9k]

i have that atachment ant when u deformed i got chill bumbs u looked like you had stroke

[SJGster]

I can go 340 trillion trillion trillion meters in 5 minutes in H1.. getting to 1 million is near instant

@FireballKupa as your question is over a year ago in the mean time you prob. fig. it out:  called flight feather lol

[nemoDaedalus]

That's cool. I could've gone higher, but it would've been pointless for me, as right above 1 million my avatar stopped being rendered :P

[PULSE666Fang]

ive gone higher....but it takes a LONG LONG time.........and talk to jamie david.....i think thats his name cause he has reached 1 billion or higher
