Inverted as in pull your controller up and the plane goes up? because thats not right at all.. so if thats what your meaning then dont, its not correct shooter/flying game elements, even in real life you put the wheel in a plan towards you (up) the plane goes down.

Uh, no Pull the stick/yoke towards you(backwards) and the nose goes up. Push the stick/yoke foreards(away from you) and the nose goes down. Inverted y mimicks this for fps and flight games. All I use is inverted y. A while a go an article about why some people use one or the other made its rounds on the gaming blogs: Basically it has to do with how your brain percieves the control of the character.

I use the inverted Y-axis in all first person shooters. It feels like you're controlling a camera on a tripod. In essence, that's you're doing in-game anyway.

I hate it the other way.



My End of 2008 Hardware Predictions (console only):

Wii : 50 million

360: 28 million

PS3: 24 million

These predictions were made on January 3rd and won't be revised

Thats a pretty good comparison. I could never quite put a finger on why it 'felt better' inverted. I thought I just got used to.

PS360 ftw!

Currently playing..........

Gears of War 2, GTA IV Lost and Damned, Little Big Planet (Yes I said I had no interest but my girl wanted to try it and we did and now Im hooked )

I always use Inverted Y-axis. I hate it when games don't have the option of inverting it. I have such a hard time if it's not inverted.

I was "trained" on the inverted Y axis playing MS Flight Simulator 3.0 in the late 80s on my Dad's Tandy 1000SX (which had a 20 MB hard drive and 640kB of ram!). I played that game a lot, actually, so the inverted axis was ingrained in my head by the time I was 10. I cannot play games any other way. Seriously, for me it's not just a preference; I cannot control a game without the inverted Y axis.
