Airplane controls are somewhat of a hybrid between regular controls and inverted controls. Since you do indeed input up to look down and vice versa, but you still input left to turn left and right to turn right.
- tshaddox 1y agoIsn’t that how inverted joystick controls in modern video games work too? It’s only the Y axis that’s inverted, I thought (and only the “viewing angle” joystick, not the “player movement” joystick).
- wavemode 1y agoMany modern games allow one to invert either the Y or X axis or both. Some players do both.

- sellmesoap 1y agoA yacht can have a tiller you push right to go left, or a wheel you rotate clockwise to go right.
- skylurk 1y agoI recently rented a paddleboat with an extra linkage to invert the rudder control. I was a mess out on the water! But maybe it made it easier for those with no boat experience.
- dmoy 1y agoReminds me of those couple of guys who made a bicycle with backwards controls. They learned how to use it, which then rendered then unable to use normal bicycles lol. https://youtu.be/MFzDaBzBlL0 https://youtu.be/MFzDaBzBlL0
- Brian_K_White 1y agoAirplane stick is actually consistent but in a different way. The stick always rotates the plane around it's center in the direction the stick is moved. It's an example of "move the object" instead of "move the observer", in that the goal is to control a vehicle not to control the view in the windshield. And the "object" you're "grabbing" is only rotating the vehicle around it's center, not panning around a flat surface.
