replyThat NASA game is pretty fun. It reminds me of what America's Army did for FPS games. It is a deliberate experience with movements and actions taking more time than you'd expect out of normal games.

I fixed everything with a welding torch. >:|

And a WRENCH

I didn't get that far. I did use a robot with a welding torch, though. Man, that little fucker can spin some donuts in the moondust, can't he?

I have video of what it is like to play if you look over on my justin tv channel.

They don't even have a sensitivity option at this point, which is surprising, since it is UnrealTech. I'd expect it to have that exposed as an -example- option page.

You guys are fucked up. Inverted controls are -only- for flying sims.

1:1 standard mouse control is some pre school shit
Inverted 4 lyfe-

the best part about being an inverted player is when your friend jumps on your machine when you get up to go to the bathroom or get a glass of water.

FTW.

Agreed, Descent + Wing Commander + Tie Fighter + Freespace

I can't find the source right now, but a study done in the past showed that the differences in inverted/normal mouse control tend to be tied to a persons sense of self. If you feel your self is inside your head, you tend to use the normal controls. Up is up, down is down. If you feel your self is floating slightly behind your head, you tend to use the inverted controls.
-
It's possible. One of my favorite games when I was young was TIE Fighter. When I started trying to play FPS's I was terrible with the controls - couldn't aim for shit. I was terrible. Then my friend told me to try inverting the mouse controls because he played that way, and it just clicked. All of a sudden I was kicking ass and taking names. I will never play non-inverted again - my brain hates it.

Yes. I think a lot of non-inverts have been inverters at some point of their life. I know I was in Duke3D. But by the time Quake 1 hit, I realized my mistake. There's just nothing to be gained by not using a 1:1 mapping. Just trying to draw a circle with an inverted mouse is counter-intuitive.

Freaks.

I can get in on this love train!

The perspective doesn't matter all. If you fly a plane and use a joystick you're simulating the flight yoke. If you use a mouse to simulate the flight yoke it's already a pretty big stretch and you might not even want to use inverted controls, because the input device is already so far removed from reality.
-
I cannot decide between inverse or straight controls for using mouse flight.
-
-
-
No, fuck that. Inverted is the only way to play. Uninverted makes no sense to my brain.

Pretty much this. Whenever you are using a yoke and doing flying, I understand it. Otherwise, you're an abomination; however, they still should support it.
-
You're actually controlling the neck muscles, which contract when you move your head up (thus, back/down on the mouse) and release when you move your head down.
-
Except all you see when you look at the monitor is a HUD with a targeting reticule - it's no different from flying.

It's really fun to get a good team together in multiplayer. Before the match started we all chose what parts of the base we'd repair, and one person was the driver/mule. That person got whatever equipment that was too damaged for us to repair and brought it out to us on the rover.
Fun stuff, just needs more maps/situations.-
Yeah. Plus base-building. I want to make bases.

Curiously, do you have a joystick + throttle setup? I get this problem in a lot of games when my Saitek HOTAS system is plugged in and the throttle quadrant is off-center. Disconnecting it, or just centering the throttle axis typically corrects it.

Hijack: If you guys like this NASA game, you should check out an open source simulator called Orbiter.
http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/home.php
It isn't a game, but a solar system simulation. There are all kinds of different vehicles, including the shuttle, a full fledged sim of the Apollo missions, command button modules and all (I've spent way too many hours with Apollo), and futuristic vehicles.
The learning curve is extremely high, but it is a lot of fun once you start planning your own orbital manauvers and transfers.

Well it's in space, so at a bare minimum you won't hear any screaming.
