I’ve downloaded the new Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD for Steam. It’s great playing those old levels again, this time in HD. School II! Yeah! However, there is no configuration for a gamepad other than an XBOX controller. If you use any other gamepad, you might want to invert the Y-Axis so that pushing UP will make you go faster. To do this, open the file below:
<steamInstall>\steamapps\common\Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD\THHDGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini
Find the following line the in the INI file:
.Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_LeftY", Command="Axis aBaseY Speed=1.0 DeadZone=0.3")
Change this line to:
.Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_LeftY", Command="Axis aBaseY Speed=-1.0 DeadZone=0.3")
Basically, you change Speed from 1.0 to negative 1.0. Save the file, load up THPS HD, and skate.
