Pete Dowson Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 What does the PMDG aircraft need t get "idle reverse"? What actually IS "idle reverse"? How much thrust if not 0? With FS default all you set is the thrust value, represented by a throttle setting of -4096 (but, depending on Aircraft.CFG max reverse setting, -4096 represents 25%) to 16384. 0 is idle. Any non-zero value represents some thrust. If the PMDG aircraft needs some special value to set set "idle reverse", then I suppose you might be able to set it by using ThrottleN set, with the parameter = the value needed. (where N is the engine number). Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Richter Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hi Pete, What does the PMDG aircraft need t get "idle reverse"? What actually IS "idle reverse"? How much thrust if not 0? in real you actually have three stages of reverse thrust. Reverse Idle - Opens just the Reverser doors but the engine stays in idle 25% N1 Reverse Thrust - 25% N1 to 40% N1 (ish) adjustable with the reverse Lever Reverse Full Thrust - up to 60% N1 (ish), it is used for emergency and short RWY's only In FS it would be value -1 to open the Reverser Doors only with engine in idle. For the other both the value, as you already said, has to be adjusted. The real Throttle Reverser Lever has mechanical gates you go through to get to the next position.

Pete Dowson Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Reverse Idle - Opens just the Reverser doors but the engine stays in idle 25% N1 Thanks Thomas. The OP will have to see if the PMDG implementation does this. Best Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alti Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Thank you! Reverse Idle: "Throttle set" and parameter -1 works great. on an secound button i have "Throttle derease" with continue so long hold, after "Button realeased" is "throtte cut" for full thrust reverse. works perfect for all landings.
