Hi AllFriend of mine cannot get his 'F2' key to operate his reverse thrust. I had a look under 'key assignments' & strangely it is not listed? So i could not re-asign that key. He has changed his keyboard (a bit drastic i know) but it still does'nt work. What if he deletes his FS9 c.f.g. file & re-starts? Any suggestions please?CheersRod

It IS in your Assignments list - the entry to look for is Throttle Decrease Quickly - Hope that helps.

Just to add..... engines must be at idle for reverse to work, so F1 followed by F2 usually works. Also, if a joystick/yoke is being used make sure that the throttle is calibrated with a bit of a dead zone at the Off end.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Can't believe i missed it! Will get my mate to see if his is still listed. Many Thanks

Thanks i will pass that on. Incidentally, i have the force feedback 2 stick & it has performed well but i have never had the confidence to calibrate it so it performs 'reverse thrust' (just used 'F2' ).Is it very hard to do?CheersRod

Hi,When you calibrate the throttle, stop the throttle a bit from the off end. This doesn't trigger reversers, just idle. You still need to use F2.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Many Thanks
