I'm on the flying stage of the tutorial, and I can't pass it as flying is disabled in the area.

I'm on the flying stage of the tutorial, and I can't pass it as flying is disabled in the area. What can I do about this?

[Rolig Loon]

That's odd.  That's the only part of the tutorial area where flying is specifically turned ON.  I'll see if anyone knows .....

EDIT: I assume that you have made it through by now....   Welcome to Second Life.

JUMP!  Or buy a ticket on SL Airlines.

But seriously, while it is a great idea to work through the tutorial, it's not a requirement or anything.  If you find yourself stuck, click this link while you are logged in.  It will offer to teleport you to Caledon Oxbridge University...which has a different, and fun, tutorial for you.

The tutorial is a 4-step intro to SL that you go through automatically if you enter at Learning Island with a new account. It takes you through walking, jumping, flying, and an intro to mouselook. It's a pretty good ten-minute primer in the most basic movement skills. When you leave there (never to return again), you can go directly to Social Island to learn further skills or go to Caledon Oxbridge, NCI, Firestorm's welcome islands, or wherever.

Well, I got past it after restartting the game about ten times. And now I can't teleport anywhere new and I'm always stuck in the old roman looking buildings. Considering just not playing the game anymore

It's not a game, but you can always teleport anywhere you like. (Actually, I think I saw you briefly from a distance at Social Island yesterday, so you did teleport that far. ) There's no required path, and no goal. For a start, click on the icon for your Destination Guide. Pick a category and an interesting place to visit. Then click Teleport. You will discover that things will be a little complicated until you have mastered more basic skills, but you will get to see more on SL in the meantime. When you are ready for more learning, you can always visit Social Island or Caledon Oxbridge University, or any of the other excellent places with tutorials.

Can you tell me which island you were on?

 

If you can, I'll flag it up to provide some practical help for people.

[Rolig Loon]

Learning Island. You can't go there.

[Adamburp Adamczyk]

Did I say I was going there Rolig?

 

I asked for the name so I can pass it to support ie, to actually help people out

 

something to bear in mind, no?

[Rolig Loon]

Already did that yesterday.

[Adamburp Adamczyk]

Good for you

[Rolig Loon]

Thanks.
