I searched and did not see this ask yet, and I have not read all, just used Search feature.

Will the new sim include reverse trust option for Throttle hardware ( CH, Saitek, HC)?

Other than assign F2 to reverse, Xplane11 has this feature modeled right.

I try not to mention other sims (I have almost all sims) and still I use FSX the most. Addons I like are FSX.

 

Hope Reversers are included.

 

Have a great week you all.

forgot to include harware meant to be mention

I think your H key is broken )

You should not expect too much, then you don't have to reverse your trust. Sorry, that was too tempting. 😄

To your question:

What exactly do you mean? That you have a button that switches the thrust lever functionality to reverse? I guess it will be solved in a proper way, but no official info on that as of yet.

What a ridiculous question to post. Why would the sim not include reverse thrust on aircraft that have it?

I'm guessing thee is more to the question than is initially apparent. Maybe more related to an axis mapping.... but I really don't know.

 

^^^^^ fist F5 key boken and now my AH key!

LOL, Man I love some of the quick answers I see!....

Granted I forgot to include all items that were meant to be included.

I could say more, but.....

Have a great day!

Actually, it decided to magically appear again and again on the post, ill check my computer, may be the IO.

Thanks for noticing it.

 

LOL

Of course there will be reverse thrust, if your questioning basics like this, have you not wondered if aircraft will have functioning brakes?

Ohhh boy, seems the question was not read or not displaying properly, 

I know I messed up the H on Thrust..

It is regarding the support for hardware....

Oh man, I have not posted for awhile...What ever happened to Flight Sim Forums?

If you have the chance to check XP11 you will understand what I mean.

Again, in a way I understand...

Have a great day

Actually I know what you mean, but it's just as often limited by the hardware itself.

I have the Thrustmaster Hotas and as far as I am aware, the reverse thrust section is not an axis but just a switch, so I can't use it for variable reverse. I would be delighted if someone could show me that I'm being a total donut though.

 

EDIT: the throttle section I'm talking about it supposed to be for engine cutoff rather than reverse thrust, which is probably why it's only a switch.

There will be a special mSparks hardware mapping function that will give you reverse trust but it won’t be as good as XP11 because that one goes all the way up to 11.

Don't have the newest x-plane version installed but AFAIR at least in earlier versions reverse thrust didn't work like IRL.

You could 'activate' reverse thrust and then control reverse thrust with the throttles, but that's not the way it works IRL.

That said, I'm thankful that the term 'reverser' and 'reverse thrust' is being used and not the common spaceship 'reverse thrusters' 😉

By the way, I been using Flight Sim since version ….. (Tandy) used to play it.

Every version would be in every computer (computers I had to upgrade)

Not only MSFS Sublogic and many Jett fighter sims, Build my cabin in my garage, motion to be added next.

Trained my kid there and later able was able to take the controls on a real one. Sim made it easier.

I seen users moving on to Xplane11 and P3, I have them and still go back to FSX due to my multiple addons, runs smooth and have not have a single crash (CTD) in around 10 years.

I seen how P3D folks express about FSX and it is funny how the Elite feel above cruse altitude.

At the end of the day, I will get the new FS, build my new system, and continue, I approached this forum expecting (I know I shouldn't expect) just a simple answer,  again when I pressed post I realized I forgot to include a key information and when back to edit it.

I'm old school and back then we would analyze the question and clearly understand that maybe something was not said or meant something else.

If interested, I would ask more or just pass.

Other Forums, Other times ..

Anywho...

I'm leaving Trust instead of Thrust..

And best wishes to you all, and hope you all enjoy the new FS.

it's all good!

In X-Plane there is a key you can assign to switch your throttle axis to reverse and back. I think that's what he meant.

Yes, 

It is assigned to a button using cutoff on MSFS.

Xplane11 modeled just right.

I have a PC board with analog and digital inputs as well as rotary. assigned the reverse trust leveler (made my own) and once engaged, the amount of throttle is controlled by the correct Throttle levelers.

I modified a very well know Throttle system (not the expensive ones) and added reverse thrusters leveler.

Reverse thrusters are wired to This PC board I referred to previously.

I can add or take away depending on aircraft I fly.

Even thou PMDG, Aerosoft, Quality wings and couple more are 2 engine most flown by me.

My cabin was build with two seats and all the components for a crew of two, since my kid at age 4 was asking o get in. finally taking control on a real plane up in the air years later.

I have wired most of switches and such as well as a tiller to this PC board. Slowly working on it.

best regards
