To get instructions for the TerraSport III and Terra Starburst parachutes, click the parachute, then click Help.
Why won’t my parachute open/close?
This is most commonly caused by skydiving over “no script” land. The parachute parts use scripts to open or close, so if scripts aren’t permitted, the parachute will get stuck. When you are in no-script land, a “no script” icon appears on the menu bar: a red circle with a page on it. Solution: teleport to a place that allows scripts, like Abbotts Aerodrome.
When I land at a target, why doesn’t it record my score over the target?
This issue affects Terra Sport 2.x and TerraSport III parachutes only. The target records scores by measuring the distance between your landing flag and the centre of the target. If you land in a “no build” area, even if it allows “group” building, your parachute can’t drop a flag to mark the spot. When you’re in no-build land, an icon appears on the menu bar: a red circle with a box on it.
Solution: teleport to a place that allows object creation (“build”).
Why aren’t my statistics appearing on the Skydiving Statistics page?
There could be several reasons for this.
- Do you have a TerraSport III, TerraSport III Pro, or Starburst parachute? Only these parachutes send jump data to the server.
- Is your parachute’s “Log” feature on? To check, click your parachute to open the menu, then click “Log…”.
- It’s possible that the region you’re in is having problems. Try another region. If it works elsewhere, then report the problem to Linden Lab, who can repair the region.
- If you’ve tried all of the above, and it still doesn’t work, contact Cubey Terra by IM.
When I play Terra BubbleTargets, some of the target spheres get stuck over my neighbour’s land. Why won’t they go away?
Check to see if your neighbour’s land permits scripts. The targets clean themselves up using a timer script, which won’t run in no-script areas. If your neighbour doesn’t wish to allow scripts, then reduce the “radius” setting in the BubbleTargets menu, so that the targets stay within your own land.
Why do I float up when I open my parachute?
You might be wearing another scripted attachment that exerts an upward force — maybe an antigravity device or a shield. It’s best to disable or remove them before you skydive.
Why does my parachute say “no modify” in my Inventory? The info notecard said it had “modify” permissions!
The TerraSport and Starburst parachutes have “modify” permissions for the parachute, but not for the scripts inside of it. Because of that, SL shows “no modify”. To make changes to the parachute, drag it from inventory to the ground, then use the edit tools.
If you have the TerraSport Pro or Starburst and you just want to change colours or textures, try using the options menu first. It’s easier.
