This variable sets the level of precision when the mouse is used to make the
player look up and down while the +mlook command is in effect. By default this
variable is set in such a way that moving the mouse forward makes the player
look up and moving the mouse backward makes the player look down. Some people
prefer to have this movement inverted just like it is inverted for airplane
controls. If you wish to use this inverted mouse movement then you should set
this variable to a negative value (for example "-0.022"). It is a matter of
preference which movement method is used by players. Also lowering the value
for this variable will increase the level of precision when the mouse is used
to make the player look up and down. This variable can be used separately from
the sensitivity variable to provide greater control over the mouse sensitivity
for movement along the pitch. It is advisable to keep the value for this
variable constant at 0.022 or -0.022 and instead use the sensitivity variable
to change the overall sensitivity of the mouse. Also, some script writers lower
the value for this variable along with a lowered value for the fov variable in
order to provide more precision when the fov variable is used to zoom.
