Reverse Thrust

Postby tcco94 » Sun Jan 10, 2010 3:52 pm

How can I reverse thrust. The only way I know how to is opening up the throttle panel and clicking both throttles and pulling them back all the way but I want to reverse thrust faster than that. I have the saitek throttle to and when you push it all the way back it still doesnt do reverse thrust.

I tried looking for a button maybe but there is no button. Is this the only way to do it? :-?

Hi,

Set up a 'spare' button on your joystick for reverse thrust, ie as in pressing F2, but pull throttle all the way back then use F2/joystick button, at around 70-80 knts just nudge throttle forward then back again to idle to cancel it and then use just wheel brakes.

regards
Steve

So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs.

Thanks Steve. Thats exactly what I did when I found the F2 function. I have spoiles and reverse thrust right next to each other on my joystick function. 8-)

I use Glenn Campbell's ARM_1!ARM_1 gauge.  It automatically engages reverse thrust & spoilers....... ::)
