November 21, 200619 yr I can't find any mention of thrust reversers in the keyboard/buttons setup screens. Anyone know how to reverse thrust?
November 21, 200619 yr Simple. Hit F2 until your throttle is full backwards (thus thrust reversers are engaged.) To disengage them hit F1 to set idle throttle.
November 22, 200619 yr Be careful though, some badly calibrated joysticks will 'shimmer', meaning that even though it's at idle, it's not fully at idle and small vibrations on your desk causes it to appear as if it is vibrating (in the VC.If this happens, hold F2 so that the throttle action on your joystick doesn't accidentally disengage the reverser's.

Yep. I also had this in FS9 with my controls (CH Products Pro throttle, pedals and Fighterstick, the OLD gameport kind, not USB), but it got much worse in FSX where I was simply unable to set my throttle at idle. That meant no engine reverse and no chance of stopping the seaplanes in the water unless I killed the engine. No amount of calibration cured it, I finally solved it by getting FSUIPC4 and using its calibration utilities. F2 works like a charm now.Pietro.
November 22, 200619 yr I have the CH yoke and FSUIPC...What I did is put a small piece of foam (ear plug) in the bottom of the throttle lever slot and then calibrated the reverser with FSUIPC. The result is that I can pull the throttle back to engage the TR's and then let go, when I let go the foam reshapes itself and moves the throttles back to idle. It has worked great for the past 4 years or so!JJ
