Reverse Thrust -> how to set up?

[B747-8f]

Hi Team,

how do I setup Reverse thrust on an axis?

I use a thrustmaster warthog throttle. On the PMDG I use a switch to select Reverse, so the throttle axis becomes the Reverser-Axis. This doesn´t work in the A300 though.

Thank´s in advance,

Toto

I use the same HOTAS, I`ve set the A10 air brake as throttle decrement. When I land I push it.
The usual OFF detent doesn`t work

Set up your throttle axis

Set button to Reverse Hold.

Your throttle should now increase the "reverse" amount.  More throttle, more reverse.  Now, I use AAO and my button has an on/off that I can use.  On=reverse hold off= engines idle (reversers stowed).  Not sure how you do all thin inside of MSFS, as I don't use it for my controls. I am sure if you do a search you will find an answer.

Adapt this to whatever hardware (TQ) you are using.

Thank you crabby, this is exactly how I‘ve set it up for the PMDG 737.

However, it doesn‘t work on the A300.

Ok, weird.  I just looked and that is how I have it set up through AAO using the Honeycomb B.

For some reason only global decrement throttle works for reverse. When you reduce power individually on each engine it doesn't. This is why I set airbreak so I can use PMDG and A300 withouth changing profile in simulator.

Another reason I use AAO.
