Fast starterguide: how to move, walk, fly and look around

Second life is more a second identity than a game, in which you can move online in your own world. You can walk around, make your own character, talk to other people and even fly!

To move you will need to use the keys W A S D. To fly, you use the button "fly" down in the edge of the screen, or by taking off by using the 'up' button. Landing is done with the 'down' button. As an alternative for notebooks, you can also take of with "E" and land with "C".

The mouse-view can be activated with the view menu, and stopped with the ESC button. When mouse-view is active, you can look around with your mouse, which is an easy way to look around or get the whole surrounding in one view on your screen.



Other views you can get with the ALT button: the mouse will go to the center of the screen when you then click on an object. This way you can look at the object, as long as you keep the mousebutton pressed. To get normal view again, you press ESC or move around.
