Stick reversal

[johnost]

Hi all - I am new here, but this looks like the ultimate place for IL-2 expertise!

I have reinstalled IL-2 1946 after a long pause. Since the last time, I have acquired a Saitek X52 Pro HOTAS stick. Everything works fine, except that the stick is reversed in Pitch. Maybe I am too dumb, but I can't figure out how to reverse it. This problem does not exist in 6 other flight games, because the stick either works right, or the games have provision for reversal.

Have I overlooked something, or is my IL-2 doomed?
