The option to invert the Y-axis should be more obvious

(This issue was inspired by #56).

You can play Descent 3 with an inverted Y-axis, but the option is so hidden that a lot of people don’t know about it. There should be a more obvious way to invert the Y-axis because of how many people want to play with an inverted Y-axis.

The way Overload handled this was perfect. While you’re playing Overload’s tutorial, it will ask you if the Y-axis feels right, and tell you to press a button if you want to invert it. It would be cool if we could do something similar. Or perhaps we could add a pop-up window that asks the player if they want to invert their Y-axis when they create their pilot.

I think it's worth considering enabling by default to mitigate motion sickness caused by snappy mouse movements.

How would enabling it by default mitigate motion sickness caused by snappy mouse movements?

Wrong subject--was considering an example video I saw that compared flightsim mode to mouselook. I believe those are covered in the game's tutorial if I'm not mistaken.

I kept reading about people not playing through the game back in the day due to motion sickness--was looking for the reason for it.

Wow, never knew that, however if playing the game with NVIDIA's 3D glasses from the early 2000s, yeah I can see that.

I believe this will be revisited post-1.5 release.
