Thanks PMDG this NGX is simply miles better than I though possible.I thought it would never be as good as I imagined or have seen. But it was way better. So thank you very much. Now to my small issue. I have a problem with thrust reverse.I have a ch yoke with 1 axis for the throttle 1 for the reverser and 1 for the spoilers. When I am on the ground I can advance the throttle to any setting bring it back to idle and then open the reversers no problem at all.In other words If I try and diagnose the issue on the ground before taking off I cannot find any issues to diagnose. After landing with either an a/p - a/t approach or full manual I need to press f1 key before being able to apply thrust reverse.Or after reducing thrust to idle with the yoke throttle axis (at say 40") then touching down all gear, I still need to press f1 or move the throttle axis forward and then back to idle before being able to use reverse thrust. I have a registered version of fsuipc. I know there are some issues with fsuipc so I have assigned most stuff via FSX only the reverser axis is assigned via fsuipc. Not sure what else to try. I tried different null settings. Any one else had similar things happen? Appreciate any advice,Cheers

looking into it more. When I reduce to idle before TD. N1 is around 30ish after TD and moving my throttle or pressing f1 It goes to 22ish then the reverser works. I am thinking maybe the axis on the yoke is a problem? I tried in fsx to have the sensitivity at max and the null zone off or 0. I re calibrated the yoke in windows.I tried setting it up in fsuipc instead and still no joy?? Anyone?

Mine does it to, I have to do the same, pull em back, hit F1, then go into reverse.

Mark, The problem here is that you're running a controller axis through FSUIPC. What happens is that FSUIPC takes the controller input, adjusts it and feeds what EV refers to as "unreliable data" to simconnect. You cannot run any controller axis through FSUIPC with this add-on.

Hi kurt, How can I assign an axis to the reversers without FSUIPC? Is there any other way to do this? Thanks

Mark, Not that I'm aware of. Sorry.

You can assign a button as a reverser through FSUIPC. Works great.

Looks like thats the way to go. Im out of buttons though. looks like im going to have some decisions to make.cheers

Weird, I am not running the axis through FSUIPC on mine. Oh well, I can deal with it. Was tense when my brakes failed on my last approach though and I couldn't get that sucker to reverse fast enough........ Used ALL of a 12,000+ foot runway.

Be very careful using FSUIPC to calibrate axis. Incorrect calibration with FSUIPC can result in FSUIPC sending incorrect axis information to the sim, with alarming results. ie As axis approaches max, it flips over to full negative. Try removing the FSUIPC axis calibration on the throttle. ALSO, putting the AIR BRAKES onto an axis WILL cause issues for 2 reasons. (1) Any noise on the analogue potentiometer of the Air Brake lever, can lead to massive event flooding. (FSX design issue)(2) The already know about issues to do with the Gauge coding in association with AIr Brakes. (PMDG design issue) You might want to not assign the Air Brakes to a Slider, till these issues are resolved, and use Air Brakes as little as possible during your decents. ( They do not flood when fully retracted ) Geoff
