[Opensim-users] Avatar movement while falling

[Storm Singer]

Hey, Dogwobble,

I remember having the ability to direct where I fall, although since you
have to be a certain height for it to have effect, there's a certain amount
of immersion-breaking involved in the default settings. Have you tried
editing your gravity strength? If you set it to three-quarters or one-half,
theoretically that would make your fall slower and your directional
controls stronger. Does that give you the effect you want?
