I don't think I can help you with this one, but anyways welcome to SimV!  ;D

Make sure you're using the correct key for reverse thrusters.  Sometimes we re-map things without even noticing.

I fugured it out it was my keyboard i had recently bought a web keyboard with like a million keys and it uses the f-keys for differnt functions so i had to re-mapp those thanks for the help though

On a defult settings, if you hold down F2 it reduces the throttle to idle then goes to reverse thrust.

[chrispeters82]

ok thanks it worked for a couple minutes now it isn't working anymore so i don't know what is up

[stivvi]

thats right but it will only go into reverse thrust once the wheels have touched the ground

[chrispeters82]

ok i figured it all out there is a button on my keyboard that turns on my f-keys and turns off my office keys which are the sam keys just the can be either so now it works

*sigh* In my day we didnt have any of those fancy shmancy button-borads. I still remember getting the ol' paperclip out and punching in those 1's and 0's all night long.
Those were the days.

Welcome to the board.

very simple
      make sure that when you land, reduce the throttle fully at idle position and then press and hold F2. it will solve your problem.
