Hi I just bought il2 and i was hoping someone might know how to invert my joysticks? help would be greatly appreciated.

You would be better asking this question in either the community help forum or the general discussion forum. I'm not 100% sure of your problem (whether you want to switch controller 1 with controller 2 or whether you want to switch the joystick axes) but I would say the solution probably lies either in game controllers configuration in your windows control panel or in the controls and hardware setup part of IL2.
