Is there some workaround to getting the thrust reversers programmed into p3dv4.2 without the need for FSUIPC.. If not, oh well, I was just hoping to find something.  Seems in the main system there is no way to set them.

If its only FSUIPC, i assume i do it as i used to with the 3.x version, turn off controllers in sim and program everything via the FSUIPC interface (and calibrate there as well.. in my case ch elite yoke + ch pedals + two throttle quadrants and xbox one controller though i rarely use it or it need for assignments).  And does using FSUIPC disable things like the FSForce plugin, which i use for helos when I use the MS Sidewinder?

Thanks in advance

I think one way to get around this might be to set the Detent toggle when at the bottom to "throttle decrease quickly".. meaning it has to be held in the detent position, so not really realistic as in flipping the reverser knob and using the throttle itself, but would work, maybe.

Not sure why you want to do this without FSUIPC, unless you don't have it I suppose. With FSUIPC there are several ways to do it. None of these require you to disable controllers in P3D, although if P3D auto-assigns functions spuriously like FSX does, that's probably the path of least resistance. The three way I know of for doing reverse are (1) the way you describe; (2) assigning analogue reverse to its own axis or axes (if you don't have enough axes you might consider whether using a single axis for both power levers and one for reverse is a useful trade); (3) this way, which is pretty much what X-Plane 11 can do natively. (See also this discussion.)

I you make the file that P3D stores controller settings, read only, in windows, P3D won't be able to assign controller settings.
