…ok, so flipping the y-axis.

I reckon that I do it because my first 3D game was Microsoft Flight Simulator (I haven’t looked this up but I’m pretty sure up and down are flipped in that game by default, like a real plane).

My brothers, meanwhile, who are all younger than me and had their first 3D experience on PS2/etc all prefer standard y-axis.

So what got you into flipped y-axis, if you use it? Something in real life that you were used to before getting into video games? One specific game that locked you into it?

inverted y is only for flight situations; usually the problem was inverted y where it didn’t belong.

also ms flight sim 2020 is amazing, they just updated the USA so I did a 9/11 on the pentagon and it was dope.

yeah I only used flipped y axis for flying. idk it just feels better slamming down on the joystick when you’re close to crashing compared to trying to slam up and accidentally turning or something

Me immediately crashing a plane in battlefield because I do everything regular but need inverted flight.

I’m a radical centrist in this regard, I don’t have a preference and usually go with the game default (not in FPS though, I’m 100% not inverted in that regard).
