Does anyone else always invert the Y axis on FPS?

[thx1138]

If I can't invert the Y axis on the controller, I can't play. I have to pull back to look up, and push forward to look down in COD etc.

Anyone else do the same, as I've been told it's odd.

[MarkJ]

I seem to remember it was more standard in the 90s. I use the 'normal' way myself but know a few people that invert.

One of my mates properly messes around with his keys having stuff like RMB as run etc.

[Rogerborg]

Joystickeriffic.

Nah, can't be doing with it. I found it very cute when the start of Red Faction: Armageddon asks you to "look up" and then auto-inverts the Y axis depending on what you do.

I always invert the Y axis but I'm pretty crap on FPSs and I'm stuck in the 90s

Not on FPS but I have to with any flight involved.

Even if its just a single flight mission on Halo I was trying to invert the controller.

Used to be inverted, but then for some reason one day I was all like "I cant play like this." and switched to normal.

I HAVE to, too, or else I get horrible motion sickness.

Mostly learnt from flight sims (well I say flight sims... Wing Commander, X-wing etc etc ).

I always invert the Y axis on every game. Makes much more sense to me.

Brain says down is down, up is up. So no

I couldn't fly a plane.

[Seb]

Same, flight style games (God knows how many hours I've sunk into Elite/X-Wing-Tie Fighter) are inverted. FPS are most certainly not.

One of the things I liked about the Battlefield series was you could customise the controls for each vehicle - because I had to use the inverted axis for planes, but not for helicopters.

The reason i do not enjoy battlefield 3 on the PS3 as much as i should is simply because they do not let you set custom keys, they give you 4-5 configurations, and with choppers and planes it is never to my liking.

I need Pitch and roll on one collective and then rudder on another, and unfortunately it will not let me group the controls like that, so i don't fly much at all on BF3, which is a shame because flying was what i loved most and was best at on Battlefield 1942 and 2

[tatters]

I don't invert, Over the past year thanks to the fixed control keys in "world of tanks" l,ve only just started using the WASD keys for movement along with QERFZXC etc for controls for almost 20 years of gaming l always used the arrow keys and number keypad.

Yes - from flight sims and perhaps that '90s' think.
As with tatters, only recently stopped using the numeric keypad for direction (which generally seemed a more sensible choice ).
When I got in to CoD a couple of years ago did consider getting various fancy keyboards/FPS controller, but never got around to it.

Definitely remember that.

Also, on the Spectrum one of the Joysticks emulated the 1-5 number keys, so if a program didn't have a keyboard input you ended up using those keys.

[Bomberman]

Ah memories - On the 48K (IIRC) my mate had the most amazing joystick interface which basically emulated the entire keyboard
One of these > https://www.crashonline.org.uk/08/comcoct.htm Awesome tech

I can't for the life of me imagine pushing the mouse forward to look up in games. Inverted all the way.

I use arrow keys for the simple reason that I'm a Keggy, and my mouse is on the left.
