How do I swap mouse buttons and invert the y axis of the mouse?

Post by andysonofbob » Sat, 31. Mar 12, 21:30

Hi

I have looked in the game setting and can see the invert mouse pitch but it doesn't do anything

Also I would like to swap the mouse buttons, hold the right mouse button to steer and use the left to fire the weopons.

Can this be done?

Thanks!

Firstly which game?

The option 'invert mouse pitch' does work as I use it. Did you save the changes into your profile on exit of the options?

Further control changes can be made in Options, Controls, and the various tabs there.

Hi

Thanks for the reply

I am playing TC and AP

I have sussed out the classic control method (FAQ) but the inverting mouse still alludes me. I have defo inverted it in the controls, I have saved it to profile which has become custom, I have also made sure it say custom on the top of the option window.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong. I have tried it on both classic mode and normal.

Thanks again

It sound like you have done it correctly but to be honest I have no idea why it wouldn't work for you unless you have some exotic or non-standard mouse and/or driver that maybe acts more like a joystick or trackball than a mouse.

Try putting mouse pitch invert to no, and/or joystick pitch invert to yes.

Oh and check that you don't have some USB controller, joystick or gamepad plugged in with a stuck button that is cancelling your mouse pitch demands.

Well that's a pain

I guess I will just have to get used to a reversed mouse.

No worries.

Thanks for your help anyway mate :)
