Inverted axis in Google Earth with Space Navigator on Win10

Post by s1l3ntb0b »

Hi I have an issue with my SpaceNavigator

I recently switched from Mac OS X to Windows 10 so bare with me if this issue seames trivial to you, I never experienced this issue with Mac.

In Google earth two axis are inverted, actually the ones that are shown in the picture above, the one for "zooming in" and the one for "tilting", I tried removing the "Umkehren = Inverted" menu option but it does not make any difference in google earth, I tried restarting my computer and restarting the driver and/or google earth. I don't seam to grasp how this has to work, basically i would like to zoom in to the map if I press the Space Navigator down, and if I tilt the Space Navigator to the right the map should tilt to the right, at the moment its inverted so if i press the Space Navigator down it will zoom out... I tried using it like this but it is just not really pratical like this.

Hope that someone can help me as it is making me go nuts!

Regards and thanks for your help,

Max

Hi Max,

if you remove the checkmark for "Reverse -Tilt" which is the last one on the bottom then you should be able to tilt the earth in the same way as you tilt the cap of the 3D mouse.

It might be that you have in Google Earth -> Tools -> Options -> Navigation the option "Reverse Controls" (= Bedienelemente umkehren) active.

Deactivate it and see if it behaves now as you want it.

Hi UtaSH,

thank you for your answer. I reeinstalled everything and now everything works correctly. Don't why the problem came up in the first place, I tried what you suggested already before posting here.

But thank you anyway.

Regards,

Max
