Wrong DEC direction when slewing to target

Hello! When I image a target that starts out within 2hrs of the meridian I start with the mount already meridian flipped so I don't have to bother with that later on (such that the counterweight starts a bit higher than the scope). However, this comes with the issue that the the mount moves in the wrong DEC direction. I tried enabling "flip N/S" in the INDI control panel and while it does what it's supposed to do when sending manual commands through the mount control, selecting a target in Kstars and slewing to it still moves in the opposite direction. Any suggestions on how to get this working? Thanks!

That's really strange, Ovidiu. What mount do you have? Typically, the INDI driver sends a target position to the mount and the mount firmware translates this into moves of the axises. Therefore, from INDI perspective the pier side should be irrelevant.
