Anyone discover how to set up reverse props with the range below the detents on the throttle levers?  I am trying to get it to work on a couple of FSX SE aircraft, most notably the RealAir Tubine Duke v2, and the Carenado 208B.

You need to map 'throttle1 decr' and 'throttle 2 decr' to the two detent button-down events, making sure you have auto-repeat at maximum. I would also advise mapping 'throttle 1 cut' and 'throttle 2 cut' to the corresponding button-up events.

Mark,
Thank you. Last night I discovered a workaround, assigning the FSX "F2" key to entering that lower range, and the FSX "F1" key to exiting the range. Did that with both lever 1 and 2 despite that was not necessary given what F1 and F2 do.  That turned out to be simple and appears to work for now.  I am today delving into MSFS setup with the Bravo and will revisit your contribution in a few days.

Are those functions you mention and the auto-repeat action available in the Honeycomb Configurator?  I am trying to minimize how much I configure in FSUIPC to avoid conflicts.  I did not get successful with FSX and the Bravo until I removed all FSUIPC profiles and logs, and the FSUIPC.ini file from the FSX Modules folder.  I had earlier cleared assignments one-by-one in FSUIPC and still had conflicts, so had to take the more drastic action.

Thank you again,
Frank

I expect so, they are standard sim variables so should be available. Your solution works because the default key mapping for 'throttle decr' is F2 (and I presume F1 is for 'throttle cut'). These commands operate all engines simultaneously, unlike the numbered commands. Alternatively, with FSUIPC you can map reverse thrust to analogue axes if you have enough levers!

And specifically defined for reverse thrust if held down.  It will work for me as I cannot ID a situation where I would reverse only one engine...  LOL
