Glad you found it. For all others, it's a key-command that comes with the DC-6: PMDG_DC6/propellers/reverse_lever_toggle

I ran into that problem when I flew out of Coventry, there is a NDB (CT) with a frequency of 363.5 (according to the AIP). On the other hand, on SkyVector this NDB is displayed as 363. So I dialed my ADF in the DC-6 to 363, and it worked.

I use 2 Saitek throttle quadrants, 1 prop-RPM lever, 4 throttle levers, and 1 lever for all carb-heaters. For the reverse-handle I've set up the "buttons" in the reverse-zone of the TQ. So I can pull back the trottle levers to idle, move one of the levers into the reverse-zone of the TQ to trigger the reverse-handle, and then add reverse-power by moving the throttles forward. To return to normal prop-pitch, same procedure again. Works like a charm! Never tried by using Buttons only or by pulling the levers with the mouse.

Hi there! Thats indeed a strange issue, because I'm able to do powerbacks without any Problems. For me it did even work with just 2 engines running. So i don't think it's an x-plane issue. I set my main prop-RPM Lever to full forward, then throttles to idle, pull back the reverse-handle, an then quickly add power. Hope you get it sorted out! Just don't hit the brakes while you're reversing.

hi there! 1. Make sure your throttle levers are in idle position, then move the reverse handle back, and confirm reverse pitch by the 4 amber lights underneath the reverse handle. Apply reverse-power by either pulling the levers in the virtual cockpit more back, or move your hardware axis forward (as you would normally accelerate). Because in reverse-pitch mode your throttle axis will move the in-sim levers backwards out of idle position. To return into normal pitch, again set throttle to idle, then move the reverse handle back forward.

Found a video where a DC-6 performs a power-back. Was pretty amazed that they actually do it! :smile: https://www.youtube.com/embed/FWLsGI8WgK8

My base is EFTP, Tampere in Finland. Got a nice payware scenery. Going to fly out of there on IVAO, as soon I'm more comfortable with the DC-6. And I hope to get a KAR-AIR livery aswell in near future. Or at least a paint-kit to create it on my own.
