Camera missle invert mouse control

Re: Camera missle invert mouse control

I can't stand inverted, with a joystick and flying jets its natural but with anything else especially shooters its so unnatural...

Come on guys, Any tip to invert the mouse at copiloting the Apache?

Re: Camera missle invert mouse control

Thanks for the reply.
But when I am aiming with any other weapon (ie a machinegun), mouse up points down and vise-versa. I would like to have the same when aiming with this camera missle.

I know exactly what your talking about cause I'm the same way. You can't fire the TV missle cause you can't invert the controls. Up is down and down is up. Everything else in the game lets you set that, but tv missle in the helos.

Because some of us (like me, who grew up on flight sims) find it more natural.

Old Skool gamers pwn. Playing with inverted mouse since 1994.

I say that someone should rig up a Nintendo PowerGlove to play Bf2. I have nothing better to say.

Ok, nothing to do with the TV misil.
What about the gunner at Apache? Same thing?

That's inverted, just the tv missle is normal.

Re: Camera missle invert mouse control

Hehe... this seems to be confusing so many people. I guess I understand your question because I had exactly the same problem. I play with inverted mouse (every game since Quake 1) because I was accustomed to flight sims. Everything behaves as you would expect except that the gunner position in choppers is NOT inverted, and the TV missle screen IS inverted both before and after missle launch. The problem is with your controls.config files. I was able to fix this problem by editing my controls.config files a long time ago when I first installed the game. Unfortunately, I am at work and don't have BF2 installed on this machnine. I'll take a look at my files when I get home and repost. You can play around with them yourself if you don't want to wait. The confusing part is that the configs are not where you would expect them to be (in your BF2 install directory) but are in your "My Documents" folder under something like "EA Game\Battlefield 2\profiles". There are numbered profile folders with the configs in there as well as a \default\ folder which are the video settings that are used before you log in. Anyway, find the controls.config file for your profile (it will be one of the numbers) and search for "Invert" in notepad. You should find the lines. Just delete all of those lines and reload BF2. Your mouse will be normal (non-inverted) so you will need to set it to Inverted again. I'm not sure the sequence of things but when I deleted those lines and set everything back to inverted from within BF2, it worked. Hope this helps more than it confuses.

Thanks LSD_Wash!!! :)

Im going to try with your tip.
I guess that its a little bug in the config system.

If you could post the line that you edited, will be wonderful!

Thanks a lot man!

(Yes, old school, Quake1, QW, DukeNukem 3D, 1994, with inverted mouse...:) )

Re: Camera missle invert mouse control

I just imagine that the mouse is the head when looking around: If I put my hand on a person's head while standing behind him, then I must move my hand forward to push the head and let him look down, or pull it to let him look up.

So I go for inverted. :)

I've almost never played helicopter co-pilot yet, so I cannot really say if it would be annoying for me if that was not inverted.

I say that someone should rig up a Nintendo PowerGlove to play Bf2. I have nothing better to say.

If someone beats me with his Nintendo PowerGlove then I'll pull out my Acclaim Wireless Controller (Gotta watch the video clip)
