Reverse Thrusters

Featured Replies

I downloaded arm_1zip and installed it on one of my aircraft,the problem that I'm having is only 1 reverse thruster seems to work not both at the same time when the plane lands.Is this normal or have I left something out.Thanks Kim

What does the arm1-thing do? Are you using keyboard command for rev. thrust or a leaver?

"I´ll rather be down here wishing I was up there

than be up there wishing I was down here"

I have used this gauge for several years now and it has always worked properly for me.I can only suggest that when you "arm" the gauge (by clicking on the airplane outline) that you be sure both sides of the red indators light up (RT-A and SP-A). See atached screenshot.Unless both are lit, only one thruster will be activated - at least that is how it works on my setup.Hope that helps.

Thanks for getting back to me on this topic.Both red indicator lights are working properly.I tried it on the learjet and the same thing happened only 1reverse worked when the nose wheel touched the runway to activate the thrusters.I guess I'll keep trying to work it out.Kim

Hmnn .... that is indeed strange.Might be a good idea to try to e-mail Glenn and ask his advice. I believe his address is in any of his downloadable packages.I have always found him very helpful if I had a question.

QUOTE FROM THE LIBRARYGAUGE: Airspeed Reduction Monitor (ARM)UPDATE:The original ARM_1.cab file contained an error that only reversed one engine. This may have caused uneven stopping when the reverse thrusters were on, particularily lighter jets. This update solves that problem.Install this new ARM_1.cab file into gauges folder allowing it to overwrite the first version.-------------------------Contact info:Glenn [email protected]

I should have remembered that update - sorry. Glad to hear it now works for you. I plan to ask the library managers to "link" the two files together so this will not happen to anyone in the future.
