Custom binds for Galaxy and System Map are upside-down #8

Description

When using the Elite: Dangerous Galaxy Map or System Map to select navigation routes, the Throttle's joystick is mapped so that the "Y" axis controls the movement side-to-side, while the "X" axis controls movement up and down. This makes HOTAS navigation near impossible. I had been resorting to just using the mouse instead.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Follow the instructions for installation of the CH Products Elite Map found in README.md.
  2. Load the redux.map Joystick Mappings using CH Control Manager.
  3. Start Elite: Dangerous and enable the Custom control settings contained in the Custom.binds.
  4. Play a Solo game and once in the Cockpit go to the Galaxy Map.
  5. Using the Throttle min-joystick, move the map cursor to select a new navigation route. At this point you should notice that the cursor movement is not as you would expect.

    Suggested Solution

I've taken a look at the Options for Controls set by config/Custom.binds and found that the problem can be fixed by changing these options:

I've saved the resulting Custom.binds and will push it as a Pull Request for your consideration.

It will be interesting to see if this is also an issue in the full map. I'll investigate tonight. When setting up the galaxy map controls I never found a layout I was really happy with so exclusively use the mouse. If the proposed layout is more logical for others then we'll go with that.

Given the fix, both the full and redux map will be changed so no further updates are needed. Thanks for sorting this. Marking this as closed now.
