    We are working on adding the invert mouse option as I type this. It should be in a patch later today. Thanks for the feedback!

    up is up, down is down, left is left, right is right. has nothing to do with anything else. in flight sims it's because of raising/lowering flaps, and how you actually pilot a plane. If it were more natural we'd have more than a handful of complaints about it. Most games standard is not inverted.

    Having played both the PC and Mac versions, the up/down directions are reversed. Having an in-game option to invert it is better than having to make a global change in System Preferences. And it simply lets players play the way they're more comfortable with.

    In most 3d games, you're controlling an avatar - and that avatar generally has a head. If I were to manipulate the avatar as I do the mouse, it feels natural to push forward to lean the head forward, thus looking down.

    I recognize there is a very real split on this, but rest assured, being stuck with a non-inverted mouse is incredibly disorienting, and even vertigo-inducing for some.

    Regardless, it got fixed - and now EVERY game (prealpha or not) worth it's salt has the option.

    Thanks again, yon Flaming Amphibian.

    Invert mouse should be in the latest patch now (build 60).

    Thank you Toad! Now I can log in and start poking around without always looking at the floor or the sky ;)
