Is there a way to set reverse thrust on my Hotas Warthog throttle axis?  I tried setting it up in the controls but it didn't recognize when I had the throttle in the reverse zone.  

Hi,

what do you mean with „reverse zone“? My hotas has just an idle position and if you lift the levers and pull further, there is the cutoff position. How did you assign the axes? Via FSUIPC or via FS control? The best way for me was to assign the two axes via FSUIPC, so you can control 1-4 engines with the two hotas levers. In the lates FSUIPC version, you can also assign a button to activate the reverse function. By this, the axes of the levers are „reverted“. So, you flare, go to idle position, touch down, press the button, and by pushing the levers forward again you can adjust the reverse thrust like normal thrust.

What I was meaning is that I’m p3d, if I am at idle and I pull the levers up and pull back, I get into reverse thrust. 
 

I didn’t know fsuipc worked with MSFS. If I have the paid version in p3d, can I use that in msfs?

I believe you need FSUIPC version 7 beta for it to work in FS2020.

I've also been trying to get the Warthog gate recognized in FS2020 without success.

Ahhh, ok, then you assigned the cutoff position (which is a button already) to full reverse for all axes.
For me, that’s not very useful, cause sometimes I just want only little reverse thrust, and I don’t like flipping in reverser like on/off. 
With FS2020 you have the possibility to „revert“ the throttle axes by button press. Problem is, that we have two axes on the hotas throttle, but 2 or 4 engine aircrafts. So if you assign engine 1 to the left axis of your hotas throttle and engine 2 to the right, you are in trouble with the 747 🙂

FSUIPC 7 beta for FS 2020 is free as long as it is in beta. You need to download this version, your P3D version will not work with MSFS. But I guess, as a registered user of an older version of FSUIPC, there will be perhaps a discount later.
So you are familiar with axes assignment in FSUIPS, give it a try, for me it’s the best way to use the Hotas Warthog throttle including the reversers. Assign and calibrate your throttle via FSUIPC, and then just assign one of the buttons for the toggle reverse thrust.

This can also be done directly in FS2020.

Sure, but then try to assign the two axes of the Hotas throttle quadrant to the 747... 🙂 

Or do you mean using FSUIPC for axes and FS2020 for the button press? That’s not possible. In this case FSUIPC will send only commands for positive thrust, regardless of the reverse toggle in MSFS. So, you  can manage all via FS, but then you are limited to two engines, or you use the possibilities FSUIPC offers, so you can use the Hotas throttle left for engine 1+2, throttle right for engine 3+4.

Same here. On my Warthog throttle I assign a button to go into reverse thrust mode, and then I can push the handle forward for as much thrust as needed.

You're right, I was not thinking about the 747.

For the 747 (& other 4 engined aircraft) you can set up a separate throttle profile in MSFS and assign one throttle lever to engines 1 & 2 and the second to 3 & 4, no need for FSUIPC. You have to switch to the profile manually though.

Good addition! Everybody can set up the simulator as preferred, but I like to keep things simple and working in most of the situations I am dealing with. So switching different profiles, especially if we will see perhaps my beloved 727 sometimes as an addon, sounds not that comfortable in my ears. But it’s of course another way to set up the throttles.

I have button 8 set to "Hold throttle reverse thrust".

 

hope that helps.

I'm still having trouble assigning this in the sim for my Hotas Warthog.  Any tips to walk through it?
