I small question before I dive back in...

First off, howdy, all. Been a while.

I put off buying SH5 for a year to spare myself the blood pressure all you guys went through. And I see from my lurking that it paid off.

Suckers! Just kiddin.

I'm going to install TDW's awesome-looking Mega-Mod here in the next couple of days, but wanted to try this ".02 version" out on a dry run just cuz I'm a sucker for punishment. It's this Texas heat that does it to me, prolly.

I have one very niggling question/issue/request: Is there a way to invert the Y-axis? I'm so used to pushing my mouse away to look down, pulling back to look up, in FPS's that I'm getting dizzy in my own boat. Ladders are only a problem for me because of this (not for the other reasons people had) and I like staying cooped in the conning tower where I belong. So both ladders give me hell, cuz I end up going the wrong way half the time.

I looked in the cfgs and no love. Can somebody help an old pirate out?

Much obliged,
Cav

You guys're killin me.

Ok next and final question then I'll fade into the depths again... does any mod component in TDWs Mega-mod fix the stadimeter or am I going to have to continue using the ruler?

I can't answer either of your questions, mainly because I don't have SH5.

As for the mouse, there should be some way to do it. I just don't know what that is.

For myself, I like it the way it is. For flight sims I use a stick, and in normal everyday usage the cursor goes up when I move the mouse forward, so I guess I'm just used to having it that way.

Stadimeter is fixed in it. Totally automatic even - just lock onto ship and identify it then use stadimeter to get range

Thanks, yall! I'll get your mod asap, TDW. Sounds like a winner!

I second the request for inverted Y axis. Not including that option is tantamount to sacrilege.

We're sim fans here, isn't the whole idea of a reversed Y-axis originating from flight sims?
