Reversers

[philb737]

Hi Pete,

Is there a way to set independent reverse thrust using a button function in FSUIPC? Can you please shed some light and guide me to the right offset? I want to be able to use 4 different joystick push buttons, one button for each engine reverses(eng1 rev,eng2 rev eng3 rev,eng4 rev).All I want to do is to have the reverses come on with the push of a button, I not looking for proportional reverse thrust just a simple on or off function.

Thank you

Phil

Is there a way to set independent reverse thrust using a button function in FSUIPC?

The normal way is to assign THROTTLEn_DECR (or THROTTLEn_DECR_SMALL) for engine n. The "F2" keypress used by many is simply the generic all-engine equivalent (THROTTLE_DECR). Have it repeating whilst pressed.

I not looking for proportional reverse thrust just a simple on or off function.

If you want full reverse as soon as you press the button you'd need to assign to a THROTTLEn_SET with the parameter set to -16384. But this may not work with all aircraft.
