I've recently been working on a wheeled vehicle where the only way I can get it to behave control wise results in the navball being displayed upside down. I have tried every conceivable orientation of the command chip as well as tried plane and rocket modes to correct the Navball upsidedown problem - many solved the issue - but all at the expense of my prefered vehicle control config displaying the navball upside down. I could just ignore the navball entirely - which I will now be doing for this vehicle - although it does seem a shame. Is it possible to add an option to flip the Navball for cosmetic purposes? - Also potentialy an issue might be some manual way to correct direction of Navball heading if at variance from actual compass headings once navball is flipped?
Cosmetic option to flip Nav ball 180 (upside down) for use in custom configs.

@BrandtSpaceINC Can you give me the link to your report on this issue? I'd really like to fix this problem. Not sure if I understand your solution. What do you mean when you say "just go in like you gonna change orientation"? Also where is this reset orientation function?

My bad sense of direction due to a faulty navball maybe? Thanks - will repost under proper heading ;)

Thanks for the lead. I found what I believe you were refering to in the editor under Pilot orientation once you highlight the command chip. I knew this was a feature of the Manned Capsules - just didn't expect it was also on the chips. That indeed revealed the problem since my astronaut was sitting upsidedown. Once I corrected this error I had to invert a few steering functions - but it was minimal hassle to get the Navball in the upright position. When I gave it a test drive, all steering is now working as intended :)
