Please unlock the ability/allow the user to use the "Decrease Throttle" binding in MSFS to reduce thrust below idle into the reverse thrust setting. This works by allowing the key bind to lower the aircraft's throttle below idle for those who do not have reverse on their throttle axis (and the longer one holds "Decrease Throttle" the deeper into reverse one goes until hitting max reverse followed by the "Throttle Idle" key bind or forward movement of ones physical throttle/s putting the aircraft back to idle and out of the reverse range).

This works with effectively every other major/high quality addon in the sim, the current way the A220 is set up requires one to "toggle" reverse thrust on and then push ones physical throttles forward to activate the reversers (and then remember to un-"toggle reverse thrust" to get out of it). This is very very counter intuitive and should not be a forced option!

Having the option to use the "Decrease Throttle" & "Throttle Idle" key binds as mentioned above would greatly increase the user friendliness and convince of your otherwise lovely addon and allow for a less counter intuitive set of motions required by users on their physical throttles to use reverse thrust properly!

I'll pass this along to our teams, thank you for taking the time to detail this for us :)

Awesome, thank you, I believe it will be a huge QOL improvement for certain throttle hardware setups and help make this fantastic little aircraft even better!

In addition please make a support ticket in the Synaptic Discord that way other users who might not be on the forums can help get traction in the mean time. Thank you

We definitely need this. Please tell me you posted this over on the discord?

Update: I did not see it posted so I credited you and posted your request as this is something many of us need updated. Thanks again for the report.

Did this ever get sorted? I want to just use my reverse gate as usual, no toggle reverse and push forward or anything.
