Inverting the mouse axis...

The place to ask for technical help with running the demo or the full game...

Inverting the mouse axis...

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to invert the mouse axis? I really like the look of this game but I'm really struggling in the battles because I can't get used to the axis not being inverted.

If you mean inverting the Vertical mouse axis... it wouldn't work.

In Freelancer you aim and steer with the mouse... so if you were trying to chase someone up or down and fire (very common) you'd want to move the mouse in two opposite directions. That's probably why they didn't include this option.

Man, I thought this was going to be a major problem for me because I always invert my mouse... but I was able to adjust to it fairly fast.

same here i'm a totally inverted one.. but got used with it real quick. in the start i used the arrow keys to fly and the mouse to shoot (arrow keys "inverted" of course) but it was to damn impossible. i'd like the idea of flying with a joystick and firing with the mouse tho. and have rolls included in the game! it still feels a bit 2d for me. rolling gives the fights a lot more dog fight feeling.. even in space

there's no reason to kill yourself.. as long as you can make others suffer

It sure felt weird the first few hour.

Still I think the should have allowed us to use inverted mouse.

I agree... Being able to invert the mouse should be a "standard" for PC games. Although, like I said... I adjusted to it really fast so I am not going to complain about it.

Thanks for the info. I'll just have to stick at it and hope I get used to the non-inverted weirdness!!!

...here we go again, sigh....

1. I play all my FPS games with an inverted mouse.
2. If your flying a "classic" war plane, you can only shoot what's in front of you.
3. If DA adds one extra checkbox, you don't have to check it...
