Anyone else have a comment on this?

I also found an FAA document (although it's for the -200ER I assume the two are pretty similar) with graphs about N1 speed at various stages (takeoff, TR deployment and while TR's are deployed) of flight, and according to it (the graph is on the last page of the document) some TR's are deployed at around 55% N1, and some reach as high as about 75% while TR's are deployed.

Yeah as far as messing with the .cfg file.... that's the first thing I would have done had this been a freeware aircraft or something else, but with advanced airliners like this..... not a good idea. Unfortunately, I exhaustively poured over all the documentation that came with this wonderful plane and did not see anything relating to reverse thrust N1, although I did find another issue: reversers are supposed to be available as soon as the mains touch down, and the autothrottles are supposed to disconnect. Instead, they remain at "idle" and I'm unable to select reverse thrust promptly. I tried changing the "A/T manual override" to "always" and that seems to have helped, but I'm still concerned about reverse N1. Here's a video that shows an N1 in the high 70's on an RTO. Although it's a simulator I'm pretty sure it's a level D and has all the capabilities that a 777 would have:

Does anyone know how fast reverse thrust is meant to respond (not the reverser deployment time but the spool time), as well as what the max N1 is supposed to be, on the -200LR? I'm under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that the response time is a bit too slow on the LRX, and that the max N1 is too low. For clarification, I'm getting a max N1 of about 55, whereas I thought it was supposed to be in the high 70's or low 80's. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks, Matthew Gauff
