Walking

To move your avatar around the world you need only a few basic keys. The arrow keys on your keyboard move you as follows:

• Up - foward
• Down - back
• Left - turn on the spot left
• Right - turn on the spot right

The same keys work for moving ground or sea vehicles around although sometimes the maker will have provided alternates for you to use.

Flying

Flying is the second fastest way to get around, after teleporting. To take off click the “fly” button at the bottom of the Second Life viewer which will lift you a short distance into the air where you will hover. Alternatively you can push and hold the 'Page Up' key to begin flying up into the air. Once airborne 'Page Up' increases altitude and 'Page Down' decreases altitude. Once flying the same movement controls as for walking are used to stear. Flying takes some practice to get proficient but randomly landing somewhere is a great way to explore!
