Hello,

i just decided to give EVE a try, but i encountered an issue i can not overcome. I can not find where i can correct inverse mouse wheel zooming function. For some reason, the zoom is inverted. It might seem like a very minor thing, but as a 3D artist, i use 3D software with non-inverted mouse wheel zoom function about 8-12 hours a day, so switching zooming modes very often would keep my brain sensory system in a state of constant confusion.

If there is not a way to do this, is there at least alternative input option for camera zooming?

Thank you very much in advance.

Use double buttons zoom. It's a bit more intuitive.
However, the mousewheel zoom is not "inverted", it is assuming that you're moving a character with your mouse, not camera. (Which is common assumption for many games.)

That does not make much sense. Inverted means forward vs backward axis is flipped, if you scroll your mouse wheel forward (touching mouse wheel with your finger and performing a motion forward) you naturally expect the camera view to move forward, and yet it does opposite.

Your explanation would imply that you view in space remains stationary while you change the physical position of your ship in the game world. Then such implementation of game controls would make sense.

Unfortunately double buttons zoom suffers from the same issue. It is inverted as well. :/
