Click the world to take the controls — your mouse steers, and Esc hands it back so you can use the panels. That's the whole rhythm: click to fly, Esc to browse. Everything else is optional.

W A S D to move, Space / Shift for up and down, 1 / 2 / 3 (or scroll) to pick a speed: Hover for sightseeing, Cruise for travel, Jet to cross an ocean before your coffee cools.

Point the nose down while holding W and you'll swoop like a bird — dives build speed, pull up to keep it. R levels the nose if you get tangled.

Tab opens the world map with all your panels still on screen. Click anywhere on it to teleport there; scroll to zoom, drag to pan. The teleport panel (top right) also finds any of 2,000 real cities by name.

Fly low over any spot and the land panel shows the ~1.4 km block under you. Pick an object, write your billboard — text, a link, an image, a GIF, a video, even a full web page — and hit Claim. The block gets outlined; tap Claim again to confirm.

Billboards render your content right in the world, and you can even upload a small 3D model (.obj/.glb) to stand on your land. Neighboring blocks you own merge into one estate.

Click while flying to fire laser bolts (hold for auto). They're a light show unless you press the PVP button — then any pilot who has also opted in can be shot down: one hit, a fireworks burst, and they respawn 20 miles away. Nobody who keeps PvP off can be harmed. Duels at Jet speed are highly recommended.

Hold V to talk to pilots near you (about 17 km — voices are spatial, so they come from their drone). B toggles open mic. Enter chats with everyone, M mutes the soundscape.

Everything is real: SRTM mountains, GEBCO ocean floors, the Great Lakes with true depths, Köppen biomes, 2,000 cities, and a sun that sets when it actually sets where you're flying. The spires in big cities stream live Ethereum data. Fly somewhere you know — it's probably there.
