✨ About this module
This mod replaces the default flight control scheme when using a controller, mainly swapping vertical flight control from the right stick to the left stick. Removed the weird "180 degree" flip behavior the character would do when you move the left stick up or down.
Essentially, all movement is now done with the left stick, while the right stick is used solely to control the camera angle.
The triggers are still used for acceleration/sprinting and these settings remain the same.
This control scheme is very similar (but less awkward) to the flight controls in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on the Xbox/PS2/Gamecube.

📥 Installation Guide
- **Download**: Download the .zip file for the variant you want - both versions have the **same** controller mapping, but the mouse controls are reversed.
- **Installation**: Extract the mod files into your **~mods** folder (usually located in `HogwartsLegacy/Phoenix/Content/Paks/~mods`). If the ~mods folder does not exist, create one.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
