April 30, 200224 yr I was wondering how you fellas are getting the reversers to function properly.. I can get mine to deploy somewhat then they retract almost immediately.. Is there some magic command I am missing that will allow them to function like they should?Thanks, Sawacs
April 30, 200224 yr Reversers tend to do this in Fs2000/2002 if your joystick throttle isn't quite closed when deploying reverse. To alleviate this calibrate your throttle so that it is not quite zero when prompted to pull it back to minimum (in Windows calibration menu). Then you can be sure that when you pull it to zero before pressing F2 in Flight Simulator, it is "less than" zero. As soon as FS senses that the throttle is even slightly open it will cut out the reverse thrust.Best Regards,Rob Young
April 30, 200224 yr Sawacs:I use the calibration options available via the freeware FSUIPC module by Gary Dodson. http://www.schiratti.comThere are detailed instructions for calibrating your throttle, which you basically set to "Idle" just above the normal bottom position. I marked this "Idle" position with a Whiteout stripe for easy visual reference. Then, once you've set your nose wheel down on the runway, you pull the throttle full back, past this mark, and you get wonderfully stable, predictable reverse thrust. That and the autospoiler deploy gauge available in the GAUGES section at Simviation.com, http://www.simviation.com/fsdgauges2.htm and you can land the the triple seven on a 7000 ft strip without to much problem!Hope this helps, Alex CN562ZMinneapolis PowerSpec G426 PC running Windows 11 Pro 64-bit OS, Intel Core i7 11700K @ 3.60GHz 30 °C, 4089MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 , ASUS TUF Z590-Plus Gaming motherboard, Samsung 870 EVO 2TB SSD, Samsung 750 EVO 500GB SSD, Acer Predator X34 34" curved monitor (external view), RealSim Gear G-1000 avionics suite, RealSim Gear GNS 450, Slavix Stay Level Custom Metal Panel, Honeycomb Alpha Yoke, Redbird Alloy THI, Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals.

May 3, 200224 yr Try searching this topic. This was discussed several months ago and a solution was to change a value in one of the files. It worked great for me. Unfortunately, it has been so long I can't remember anything specific about it. Roger
May 3, 200224 yr Well, no. See I've never had that problem. all of my default big jet spoilers auto deploy already from thier out of the box default setup.I was just surprised to hear of that some people weren't successfulPete
