How To Flycam in Second Life
The flycam function in "Second Life" gives you a first person perspective of any environment in the game. Furthermore, it allows you to freely move around an environment to gain a new perspective when building, making a movie or familiarizing yourself with the game world. Enabling, configuring and using the flycam is straightforward. Through the many configurable options, you can customize how the flycam works to make it feel as natural as possible.
