It should functionate like follow:

German Description:
Betätigung wie bei Gashebel sinngemäß:
Schalter aufwärts- bzw. vorwärtsdrücken:
"Drehzahl größer!"
Schalter abwärts bzw. zurückdrücken:
"Drehzahl kleiner!"
Luftschraube verstellt, solange Schalter betätigt wird. Bei Loslassen springt Schalter in Mittelstellung zurück, Verstellmotor ist ausgeschaltet.
(From Book: Technik für den Flugzeugführer 1942)

Translation:
Operation as in throttle accordingly:
Switch forward or push-up:
"RPM increase!"
Switch back down and push-down:
"RPM ​​decrease!"
Propeller adjusted as long as switch is pressed. When released, switch jump back to intermediate position (adjustment motor is turned off).

Looking at that picture it would suggest that the game version works backwards. I have an axis mapped to it (which works fine, the centre position is large enough not to cause issues with it being either up or down) and when I push it forward, i.e. to increase RPM the RPM does increade BUT the lever in the cockpit moves down.

If the lever in the cockpit is indeed supposed to be the same as in the picture (it has the same markings) above then it operates wrong in game. Moving the lever down should decrease the RPM.

Its not a problem to have your actual axis match that on screen (juct tick invert) but if you do that it will work the opposite to every other plane and cause endless confusion!

I am happy that this issue has been addressed as Im all for realistic controls, however please 1C chaps have a look and ensure that it is working as it should.

Cheers!

Exactly, is a problem of the animation you see of the lever, but if you dont look at the lever, is working right.
They need to fix the bug when the pp is mapped to buttons, and the animation of the lever, and I am pretty sure it will be in a hotfix in no time
