What key combo is reverse thrust?

I can't figure it out and can't find it in the controls menu. I fly allot of turbo probs and can't figure out how to do it. Also where can I find it on the control menu, I would like to assign it to a joystick button.

Didn't it used to be shift F2?



Thanks
Chris

Good choice!!

I use all 4 toggle keys on top of the joystick for easier throttle adjustments (especially helpful when landing helicopters).

and you need to have your throttle closed before F2 takes effect.

Incidentally its a good opportunity to mention that I don't think that the default Caravan decelerates after landing anywhere as quick as you would expect with all that drag and reverse thrust.  

In real life I would suspect they can be brought to a halt in a very small distance on very short strips.

The CH yoke does not allow F2 to be assigned easily to a button within the FSX (say like views or trim etc) >>> contols menu.

How do you map it to a button?
