Starfield is Bethesda's newest RPG set within an expansive outer-space open world. This setting naturally features spaceship flights, so you're probably eager to embark on a space journey or maybe even raid some other ships. If you want to make your journey as smooth as possible, you should know how to invert flight controls in Starfield.
When it comes to games that involve controlling flying objects, mastering them can be quite a daunting task. Remember how challenging it was to fly a plane in GTA 5? But let's not be too hard on the developers. Designing intuitive and enjoyable flight controls is not easy at all. So while flight settings often lack options, at least players have the opportunity to invert the Y-axis in Starfield.

If you are a hardcore pilot, you would probably like to use a flight stick to fly in Starfield. Unfortunately, there is no native support for this type of controller, so this can only be done using mods or third-party software.
Bethesda did not develop the flying aspect of the game that extensively, and even landing here is done through a cutscene. So that's why there is only support for a regular controller since you will have to shoot much more than fly. And as you could guess, there is no HOTAS support either, at least for now.
But there you have it, now you know how to invert flight controls in Starfield. For more on the game, we have a guide on how to harvest resources in Starfield, make sure to check it out!
