Avatar starts to fly on its own

[shalimarq]

My avatar starts to fly and the camera points to sky on its own as soon as I log in. This happens regardless of which viewer I'm using. Then if I press Esc and stop flying, after a while the same thing. This went on before some months ago.

Anyone else had this and what would stop it?

maybe you are wearing a hud, detach everything from yourself to see if you fall on the ground.

[shalimarq]

No, not wearing any huds. Could it just be some SL issue that will go away on its own?

Also the flying goes on right after teleporting. (I have unchecked the ´Always fly after teleporting´).

Just noticed it starts to fly when logging off too. Doesn't matter if it's an alt either it's the same.

Some place in your current viewer there is  a place to choose "Stop animating my Avatar"

if that fails try using a different viewer.......ie Firestorm., .coolViewer  Singularity etc etc.

good luck

Thanks, tried it but nope. In Singularity my avie is not flying but it keeps jumping (pg up). Maybe it's a mouse related issue?

Change your keyboard.

[shalimarq]

It can't be that either, since I unplugged the keyboard and tried to tp. And flying again after tp.

At the moment using SpaceNavigator in Flycam mode is impossible. It starts to fly up automatically and ends up pointing to the sky and won't stop moving.

Hi,  there is an option in all viewers to "Fly" if page-up is pressed....if not selected,  your avatar only  jumps on page-up.

Because of what you just said about Singularity viewer results.....i suspect  you have  a  "stuck" page-up key  OR  \your PC "THINKS" page-up is pressed.

Tying another keyboard is a good idea...   as was just mentioned by another  forum Helper.

Keyboard or any other usb device or any software that can send keypresses.

In all viewers you can control what a pressed PgUp key does - either liftoff or only jumping.

Your description shows pretty clear that this key is pressed. By hard or software - thats up to you to find out.

Ok, the problem seems to be gone. I detached the SpaceNavigator mouse from the USB port and moved it to another. Flycam is working now fine and no random flying so far. Phew. I do need a new keyboard anyway though

Thanks all for your help!
