I am having a difficult time solving my unique problem regarding variable thrust reversers. I have an actual throttle quadrant from a business jet. I want to have variable thrust reversers on each engine. My problems comes when figuring out the setup. In the attached photo, the silver arms with the holes on the end move with the throttle levers. Great! I can mount the slide pots to them. HOWEVER, when throttles are brought back to idle and the reversers engaged, the silver arms begin to move forward again. The reverser mechanism disengages the throttle levers from those silver arms and the arms move forward again to increase thrust in reverse. How would I set up my pots in this situaton? How will the interfacing work? I've read a little about wiring the pots in series but I don't know if that's really the answer. Or maybe a microswitch that turns the reverser axis off until deployed? Please help.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/146453.jpg

What do you use for your interfacing? If it is iocards or fsbus, it migth be possible to program some logic there that is triggered by a microswitch ("reverser on") and then treats the axis value in a different way?//Tuomas
