Explanation

Inversion of Gamepad Joystick Y-Axis When Controlling Vehicles
I assume this is a bug, because this change does not benefit the game in any way, but when using a controller, you will notice that in 1.11, using up and down on the joysticks to control a vehicle, is now INVERTED for some reason (notably most prominent in planes because this directly effects the elevator's control axis). And, this would have been fine, if this didn't ONLY apply to vehicle controls, so externally inverting the axis with steam input or in the game will then invert your camera controls wrongly.

So right now, Fluppi has forced us controller users into three options.

• Leave it as is and suffer with the c*** inverted control
• Invert it and have a messed up camera control when using the controller
• Modify ALL our existing builds just to invert the elevation controls (WHICH would then mess it up for keyboard and mouse players)

This makes aircraft infuriatingly hard to use on controller, which is a huge problem considering gamepad is the best control method for them and people like me have been building them specifically for controller use for years now.
