I'm not paying attention to the details of your message here, but it's
too premature to explain SimulatorFeatures well. This is precisely the
foot in the door, so to speak, for evolution of the viewers, and I
expect a lot will change in this area in the near future.

good if people in the know about this could check it reflects reality
and the current 0.8.2 dev master setup.

But in trying to understand why OSGrid is not actually passing any of
the OpenSimExtras to viewers (such as GridURL, etc), and noting it
only passes through the say, shout and whisper ranges Cinder Roxley
has delved into the code and see some odd things. The notes below are
an edited version of an exchange between Cinder and myself in the last
few days to try to shed light on this. Its not quite suitable for a
mantis entry, so I hope the opensim-dev mailing list is a suitable
place to raise this.
SimulatorFeatures.cs
-------------------------------
The settings directly under SimulatorFeatures.cs seem to be deprecated
and pending removal. I think they are coming from GridService now.
There's a code comment in SimulatorFeatures.cs that says:
//
// All this is obsolete since getting these features from the grid
service!!
// Will be removed after the next release
//
I have noted that OpenSimDefaults.ini [ClientStack.LindenCaps] has
Cap_SimulatorFeatures = "" which means its disabled.
Should SimulatorFeatures.cs and the Cap_SimulatorFeatures line be
removed in the dev master while some of the refactoring is going on
ahead of a new stable release, given the comment in the current code,
and to clarify a bit what is going on here?
SuppressConsoleCommands
------------------------------------------
Cinder also found that there can be an issue with communication of teh
OpenSimExtras to the viewer if SuppressConsoleCommands is set to False
in the configuration. It appears that if SupressConsoleCommands is not
True that it may not load the service urls.
I could not find any reference to in the any configuration files or
.ini.example files... but Cinder was looking directly in code and saw
that if it's set False that the service urls are left unset and
omitted from OpenSimExtras. It may not have ever been added to an ini,
but it's referenced in code.
