What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Merexis
Are you playing in VR? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Other
Please explain 'Other' When flying
What were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful. Change option to invert mouse Y axis when flying. Fly any ship in any scenario.
Where did this issue occur? Please include menu name or in game location. Any time when flying a ship.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 04.10.20 15:30
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Can play, but it's highly frustrating
What happens when the bug occurs? When the mouse Y axis is inverted, attempting to pitch up will show an indicator that you are pitching down and vice versa. i.e. the indicator follows the mouse offset rather than pointing the direction the ship is vertically turning.
What do you expect to see? Indicator should show where the ship is heading, not where the mouse is.
Which ship were you playing? If not applicable, just answer "no" or "none." All
What components were you using? Doesn't matter.
Which customizations (if any) were you using? None.

I'm not sure if this is by design or not. Regardless, it would be great if there was at least an option to have this work the way I would expect it to.

Currently if I try to use the inverted mouse option I find it impossible to aim and navigate due to the onscreen indicator pointing the (vertically) opposite direction to where I expect it to go.

I can currently sort of cope without inverting the Y axis in that I can at least aim (badly). However if I suddenly need to pull up my brain can't seem to break the habit of a lifetime and I end up flying directly into whatever I was trying to avoid.

At this point I would even settle for being able to disable the mouse flight direction indicator.

    I completely agree. I finally play with a gamepad because of what you described. With inverted mouse, we move the mouse up as if we were pushing the wind-sock. The front of the ship dives (normal) but it enters in contradiction with the pointing indicator which behave as a mouse cursor on a computer desktop (not inverted).

    I'm now uterly disgusted with this!

    feels like thousend updates later but no fix for this simple bug...

    i first reported this bug 3 months ago... 3 months... and nothing has changed!

    i paid for it... i don't play it... that's so cheeky...

    if you don't wont your customers to play with mouse, than don't advertise it! tell everyone _before_ they buy it, that it can only be played with... with... whatever! We were told this game was made by original x-wing-players. Bullsh!t! You would have had a better mouse-support!

    i mean, this bug is so obvious, that anyone playing with inverted mouse will stumble over it... but hey: not the ea-testdivision! is there any testdivision at all?

    i'm out of words... i was eager to get my hands on this game... but now? everything is killed by this tiny, nothing-to-speak-of bug!

    but hey. you have my money. you did everything right!
