Mouse wheel in reverse?!

[Arugela]

Is everyone elses mouse wheel scrolling in reverse?!

Yeah mine is too. I tried editing various things in the settings.cfg to no avail. Changing the scroll direction in my OS settings fixes it but it's obviously not ideal.

I fixed it on mine by changing "scale = 1" to "scale = -1" in the settings.cfg under "AXIS_MOUSEWHEEL"

A) Yes, I have the same problem. (Linux, Ubuntu 18.04, Steam version of KSP)

B) Your patch works also for me. At least in the actual game, it does not effect the scrolling of the lists in the settings menu. It does show up as negative "Mouse Wheel Sensitivity" in the settings menu:

P.S. In case it wasn't obvious: don't move that slider in the settings menu (and save the settings), then you'll have to manually change the value again.

According to @JPLRepo this is a know issue in the Linux version.

I wonder if Unity handles HID in an absolutely wacky way. We keep seeing these input device issues that shouldn't really be issues with modern OS designs.

Thanks for the fix, I was going mad without my mods and this ****** inverted mouse wheel!

Doesn't work on lists, but, well...

I'm thinking about rolling back to 1.7!

For reference, this is a known bug in Unity on Linux:

https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/23904

Setting scale to -1 or inv to True fixes it where KSP handles the mouse wheel itself. Scrolling in parts and file lists is probably done internally by Unity and ignores the settings.

I would suggest enabling "natural scrolling" in your desktop setting before starting KSP as a temporary solution

Tried this under both Primary and Secondary entries under "AXIS_MOUSEWHEEL", restarted the game, and it didn't work. I also tried changing "inv = False" to "inv = True" , to no avail. Do I need to restart my PC or something?

Strangely the zoom function (in-flight and in-map) works properly; scroll down for zoom out and up for zoom in. What am I missing?

Edit: I returned "inv = False" to "inv = true" and the map & in-flight zoom inverted (down for in, up for out). So that's one issue figured out.
