Disable Fly so its more realistic!

Wouldnt it be better if it was more realistic! People would use cars planes ect and probly people would make parking lots in there shops and diffent things like that! I told some people my idea and they agreeded so I really hope it happens it would make the game more exciting!

oh and I forgot to mention you can still fly with jet packs and planes and things like that ! Please reply !

no.

Flying is one of my favorite parts of SL.

edit dupe

I mean yeah its cool but....I think if the game is more realistic its cool

This isn't a game.

Bah. yes it is.

If it were something else, Linden Lab wouldn't have content creators on board (Ryan, Ben, etc.).

Semantics aside, flying is absolutely essential in SL, otherwise it's nearly impossible to get anywhere.

PLUS. If you couldn't fly, and someone builds a 60 meter tall wall in front of you, blocking you, how do you get around it?

How would you get to your elevated apartment in Celadon, Mimi? I didn't build any stairs. Much of the content is designed around the ability to fly. But... There's no reason someone couldn't buy a dozen sims and make them all no-fly.

In the past, when this has been suggested, the Lindens have stated that it's one of their most-liked features and that they won't be changing it.

It's kind of in the same category of feature suggestions as "you should let me buy Linden dollars directly from Linden Lab.". The answer: "no".

Even if they DID turn flight off, everyone would just use flight scripts anyway.

no, i dont want to spend all day trying to get to where i want to go.

the world of secondlife is as "realistic" as it is. hang on while i disable my standard setting.

</sarcasm>
if you don't want to fly, walk down the stairs and through the park in your real human body. come here to play.
<sarcasm>

*edited to correct spelling and to say to eggy "it is too." it's been developed and marketed as a game since at least last november.

I like this idea. Then I'd sell more planes and rocket packs

Why would you want it to be more realistic? Gawsh, it already has greed and hate, why would you want torturous transportation methods, too? I want to just GO somewhere, not worry about how I get there. And besides, the lag would be awful.

If you want realism, protest teleporting first. And how about huge flying stuctures? I mean, do you really draw the line at FLYING?

flying rocks!

It reminds me of my childhood dreams.

Flying is a great part of SL. Something a bit off topic, but LL or someone else should create a SWIM ability so you can swim across the big lakes/ rivers/ and oceans.

Keep flying and add swimming. Sounds good to me.

Mimi, you can choose to just quit flying if you like. No teleporting either. Just be fashionably late where ever you go.

Some people have wings. So if you disable my fly, you're infringing on my pseudorealistic semirealism.

While we're at it, why don't we make everyone ugly and overweight too.

Please stop drinking the Clorox. It's not good for you.

Ah yes, because I want to piss and wash and eat and hug people like I do in real life and TSO. (Sorry if that's a bit sarcastic, but SL is not real.)

I love flying - who wants realistic ?

Plus no chance to 20k and die in here for the most part.

Swimming would be a great addition though !

LOL

More realistic?

No thanks, I come here to escape reality...and the flesh-eating clowns that dog my every footstep.

And stuff. How I hate stuff!

I've said it before and i'll say it again. Right next to my monitors is a very nice window. When I want realism, I look out the window. When I want things I can't see in real life (like people flying around for instance), I look at the two nice big flat panel screens I paid all that money for.

Why in the name of all that is decent and holy in this or any other universe would anyone want a virtual world to follow the same restrictions as the real one?

Realism is for the real world. In virtual worlds, imagination is king. Whatever you can imagine, you should be able to do in VR. That's the whole point.

Besides, do you really want to have to build a scaffold to stand on with ramps and ladders every time you build something taller than your avatar?

Sorry, but this is the second worst idea in the history of SL bad ideas. The first was that one about avs per meter. I'm normally a very agreeable person, but when you want to tred on my freedoms I take issue. I suggest you round up all two or three of those people who supposedly liked your idea, get yourself an island sim, and turn off flying. Leave the rest of us happily airborne folk alone.

I'm definitely standing on the "don't remove flying!" side of the fence. Flying is actually one of the first things that got me to think that SL could be funny and worth more than just a 7-days trial period. I've always liked to be able to go to places fast, so that I can actually enjoy what I'm doing instead of wasting useless time in walking on the ground, and the fact that here at least we don't need to fight through several levels of skills or anything similar to get to places fast is, well, a really good thing to me. Added to teleporting (and to the fact that a newcomer to SL a) doesn't have the skills to build a vehicle, b) doesn't have the money yet to buy a vehicle), it's just perfect.

After all... The less time spent in moving, the more time to build, design clothes, have fun to events, and all the rest

don't you dare !

how about disable building as I keep bumping into things as I fly around.

There seems to be a major push to add realism to SL... Real Builds..Real animations..Real skins...

I prefer the fantasy of it...

More flying..more impossible structures...more imagination.
