Hi, I tried to activite the reserve thrust for PMDG 744 after touched down by pressing F2, and I saw REV on the EICAS. However, the N1 is only at about 31% and when I stopped pressing F2, the reserve thrust closed automatically. Does anyone know why??thanks you very much...P.S. I am using thrustmaster Top Gun Afterburner joystick, the reserve thrust works fine without playing with the joystick...Now assume the above problem is solved, does anyone know how to set my FS2004 such that I can apply reserve thrust on my joystick. I have FSCUIP 3.5 registered version.thanks againBen :)

Does>anyone know why??Did you have anti-ice turned on? As far as I recall from earlier discussions there is a problem with anti-ice and reverse thrust.>>Now assume the above problem is solved, does anyone know how>to set my FS2004 such that I can apply reserve thrust on my>joystick. I have FSCUIP 3.5 registered version.I would think it should be possible to assign a button to do the same action as F2, however I have to admit I don't know that part of FSUIPC./ Jesper

There is a new version of FSUIPC just being released, it is public beta at the moment. The new version allows FULL use of joystick, yoke and pedal settings including button push and keyboard entry's.Now you just have to find it, as I cant for the life of me find the link!!!Daniel
