There are lots of OpenSim users with top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art machines with a high-end Nvidia gaming graphics card running Windows 11 who complain about Firestorm 7 being terribly slow. In comparison with Firestorm 6 even.

I have hardware that was upper-mid-range in 2018 with AMD graphics running Debian GNU/Linux. I've got nothing to complain about how Firestorm 7 is performing. (Of course, literally nobody here will believe me.)

This either means that I've hit a sweet spot in combining hardware and software. And that the combination of a top-range Intel i9 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti and Windows 11 is actually objectively slower than the combination of an eight-year-old six-core AMD Ryzen CPU, and AMD Radeon RX 590 and Debian. At least when running Firestorm.

Or this means that everyone else considers a two-digit frame rate a slideshow whereas I've happily capped my frame rate at 30.

What I can comprehend even less is that single-threaded Firestorm 6 is supposed to be faster than multi-threaded Firestorm 7 on a CPU with 12, 16, 24 or more threads.

Join us at the end of the week in the Bourbon Bar with DJ Adriana Darkheart, who will be playing melody trance.

GRAND OPENING of OSHBC!

In an effort to try to get the BDSM/Fetish community together in Opensimulator, we created this region based roughly on the SL HBC sim. This is to help people migrating from SL to Opensim to have a familiar place so they feel more comfortable transitioning to Opensimulator.

The region has several play areas, and a main meeting area for people interested in BDSM/Fetish lifestyle to meet up and find other like minded people.

NOTE:

I know BDSM / Fetish is something many people disagree with, and everyone is entitled to their opinion - but please - we ask that everyone keep negative comments out of the feed. It doesn't look good for the Opensim Community at large when people thinking of migrating from SL to Opensimulator see a bunch of negative remarks. Everyone has something they like and/or dislike, just like the BDSM/Fetish community doesn't negatively comment on what other people enjoy, let's afford the same courtesy to this community.

Now, more on the region:

The region has several areas available and is ADULT ONLY! We will ask any child avatars etc.. to leave the area or change to an appropriate adult avatar -

"The Yard"

This is the main hangout area where people can meet up, chat, hang out, and play.

"The Lobby"

Another hangout area with some BDSM toys etc.. for people to use at their leisure.

"The Cellar"

This area is a lounge with several seating areas as well as some gaming tables for people that like that and some private rooms for people to interact together privately uninterrupted.

"Shop" (under construction - approx. open date - 03/13/2026)

This area will have BDSM/Fetish related content that is free for all.

"Collared Dance Club"

We will be holding dances weekly here (we have to determine the best time / day for this)

"Cage Room"

Exactly what it says - a cage room for anyone who wishes to use it or play.

"Rubber Lounge" (under construction - approx. open date - 03/13/2026)

This area will be for those interested in Rubber Fetish (latexdolls, etc..).

We sincerely hope this area will help those from the BDSM/Fetish community come together. We frequently find people asking "where they can meet other BDSM/Fetish" people so hopefully this will fit the bill.

Trash Day at Gracie & Dexter’s Community Dump!

The dump trucks are lining up and new treasures are arriving today.

Fresh piles of wonderfully odd, creative, and delightfully questionable contributions are being added throughout the day. If you enjoy digging through the unexpected, today is the perfect day to visit.

Have something fun, silly, or gloriously “Poor Quality” to contribute? Toss it on the heap and let the community enjoy it.

Stop by and see what the trucks brought in today.

UPDATED: Mar 4, 2026
UPDATE INFO:
Okay, so with @Custom_Vehicle_Shop 's help i have reset everything again
the landing on Kaze is set @ hop://gentlefire.opensim.fun:8002/Kaze%20no%20Chiiki/25/45...
According to OSW is is supposed to go to gentlefire.opensim.fun:8002/Kaze no Chiiki/25/457/24
when i check my map for HG it lands @ hop://gentlefire.opensim.fun:8002/Kaze%20no%20Chiiki/128/1...

That means that the URL is getting lost between the site and the beacon.
Kaze is a 2x2 .
That means that @JupiterRowland possibly has the right idea.

@JupiterRowland stated "There's no issue on the OpenSim Mantis, though, so I guess the devs don't know about this bug yet. Maybe we could conduct some tests to verify the bug (if there is one), make it reproduceable and file an issue. "

How many other people are having those issues?
How do we verify the bug (if there is one), make it reproducible and file an issue?

UPDATE: i added an image of my land tab settings, there is a landing point set.

What will you put on your island?

Some of our residents decorate differently than I do; but that is what makes this a wonderful place!

We want to find a few more community minded people!
