I'm on a MacBook and am having serious issues flying in SL. If I use Page up, I go forward..not up. Page down moves me backwards, not down. It's getting really frustrating to have no control over my height!!

Can anyone help?

Thanks :)

The mapping on the notebooks makes my head hurt, play with the fn key and check in system preferences for toggles to play with.

It might be easier on a small keyboard to use the letter keys, WASD for up/left/down/right, F for fly, E and C for jump/flyup and crouch/flydown. Or you can use View>Movement Controls to get the mouse controls.

That's correct... hold down the "fn" key on the lower left corner and then "page ^". Then fly away, little avatar.

No problem. I had the same experience when I first got into SL with my laptop. :D
