Playing Games "Inverted" Is More Realistic

In real life when you look up you bend your head back, when you look down you bend your head forward.

I've been a gamer my whole life and have always played un-inverted, but recently I've been playing inverted because I now realize it's more realistic, it took some time but I've gotten used to it.


I PROMISE YOU'LL GET USED TO IT!

If I can get used to it so can you.
 
I'm generally comfortable with either, but when playing as a character I tend to play with standard controls but when flying something I like inverted controls.

No idea why that is my preference but it's just how it goes.

I've been playing video games my whole life so at this point I can handle a controller better than Hendrix could ever handle a guitar.

When I start a game using my Xbox controller, I always have to go to controls and invert Y axis.

I can't remember what I use because I rarely use a controller for any game that has aiming in it, so I just use both and then stick with whatever feels better.

Using a Joystick back in the 90's got me accustomed to it. Goes either way with me though, I just leave it at what the game is set to.

Impressive versatility. I immediately have to go to settings as I have no desire to learn the nomie way. Flight Sims ruined me in the last millenium. Damn I love saying that, as if we are incredibly old or something. 🤣

Flight Sims in the 90's did indeed go hard, I grew up on things like Elite, X-Wing, Descent etc. I do recall spending an age modifying the controls to Mechwarrior 2 so my joystick felt natural, everyone else was struggling with really bad controllers or mouse & keyboard.
 
I never understood why old flight and space sims behaved like this. They are all inverted by default and the first thing I did was to remap them so up or W pitches upward. I grew up on these games too but couldn't stand inverted controls and games that did not let you remap.

That is how flight controls work, if you had a joystick (or rare yoke) it is absolutely natural to be inverted. Keyboard, yea I can see that, but even a mouse is better inverted for flight controls.
