Reverse Propeller?

Featured Replies

I understand F1 and F2 are the keys for reverse thrust. What about reverse propeller braking, e.g., for the DC-6. Can someone help? Thanks

My system specs: Intel [email protected] - 5.2 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, 32GB  DDR4  RAMNoctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler,1TB Seagate SSD, 4TB Seagate HD, Windows 10, Asus 32 inch monitor, Saitek Yoke, Throttle Quadrant, Rudder Pedals and Trim Wheel     Sims: MSFS2020      Preferred Aircraft  Black Square Bonanza, and Baron, A2A Comanche, PMDG DC-6, Red Wing L1049 

In my experience, the PMDG DC6 does not respond to a keystroke but instead, the throttles must be closed before the reverse lever is operated after which reverse thrust is deployed by opening the throttles again.
Isn't this the same effect as reverse thrust on a turbo prop?

Been months since I set it up, but I think it is toggle water rudder. You have to make sure your throttle is all the way off, or the reverse won't engage.
