The Arrow XD is an extremely stable vehicle that's fun to fly. It's also maybe the only vehicle in SL that is also a musical instrument: turn on the sound effects and fly about and you'll make music.



Instructions:

Rez the vehicle and rightclick->fly me.

Control the Arrow XD with your arrow LEFT RIGHT FWD BACK / PGUP PGDN keys. Or use the w s a d / e c keys on your keyboard. Note that the Arrow XD is *not* a mouselook vehicle.

- Shift+RIGHT (or Shift+d) / Shift+LEFT (or Shift+a) will strafe right and left, respectively.

- FWD+BACK (or w+s) will bring up a dialog menu with several options:

--- Spin Cam, Drop Cam, Pilot Cam, Overhead Cam, Underhead Cam are all advanced camera modes that take advantage of new function introduced in the 1.9 client. See also LEFT+RIGHT below.

--- Cam Off cancels any of the fancy camera modes and returns you to the normal view. See also PGUP+PGDN below.

--- BGSFX On / Off toggles the background sound effects on / off.

--- SFX1 On / Off toggles sound effects set 1 on / off.

--- SFX2 On / Off toggles sound effects set 2 on / off. Yes, you can turn both SFX 1 and 2 on at the same time.

--- Park On / Off will disable / enable vehicle physics. This can be useful if you want to stay parked in one place. Especially useful if someone is shooting at you.

--- Lights On / Off toggles the "Landing Lights"

- LEFT+RIGHT (or a+d) toggles your view between Overhead Cam and the default view. This is extremely handy for landing.

- PGUP+PGDN (or e+c) cancels any fancy camera mode and returns you to the default view.

Happy Flying!
