[Opensim-users] Avatar movement while falling

[Sarge Misfit]

I've always been able to 'glide' using the arrow keys while falling, but it
is a bit difficult to notice while you are doing so, especially at high
elevation (you can't see the ground). I do use Mouselook, though, and I
look towards where I'm falling to guide myself.
