Invert Y-Axis in Tony Hawk HD

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.
