Simple request - conditional mouse inversion

Post by RobJ »

Just a simple request. Instead of having a simple Normal/Inverted option for first-person mouse control it would be more useful to have two options, one for aircraft and one for ground units. This is used to good effect in many games, Battlefield 2 for one, and many people including myself do prefer to have the controls inverted in one situation and normalised in the other. :-)

My first thought reading the topic was: flame this n00b.

But he actually has a point. I'd like it for one!

My first thought was: Why bother?

But.... it wouldn't be that hard to get Spring to just check it for being flight-positive before you control it, would it?

Either way, I don't think it'll make much of a difference.

My first thought was that AF was going to start a flame war because he doesn't know what "invert mouse" means, but as it is, everyone knows what they are talking about and someone has suggested a good idea... nifty... I think winter depression is thawing out of the forums finally.

OK...well thanks for the input. I've changed the title so it doesn't make it look like I don't know how to invert the mouse. I assume that is what would make me a 'n00b'? :P

It's a post like that sinbad that starts a flamewar, and I'd never just barge into a thread and flame because I didnt understand it. Please quit it with the lets target Alantai stuff.
