I don't think the sim has a specific axis dedicated to only the reverse range, as it's quite difficult to map conceptually.

Hi Matt,
I found this.
In the MSFS menu, I selected "DECREASE THROTTLE" for the axis "JOYSTICK SLIDER Y-". However, the issue is that when I move that axis, it doesn't go up or down, but rather goes towards maximum reverse. To rectify this, I need to move the thrust levers forward, which isn't realistic. With my limited knowledge, the only solution I can think of is to use FSUIPC and define that axis as a reverser with an additional event.
 
As a programmer, I believe you should find it easy to understand and troubleshoot this for a positive outcome.

Do you happen to know if the throttle has a button that fires when you pull the levers up into idle reverse? The Saitek throttles, for example, have a dedicated "button" that is "pressed" when you move the throttles into the reverse detent.

I opened the quadrant to be sure; there are no buttons, only pots. Throttles and reversers only move pots. There are buttons for TOGA and A/T disconnect.

Thank you.
