Fs2004 reverse thrust

[Monarch1958]

I have just done a complete re install of fs2004 and now when I’m sat on the ground only one reverse thrust works I did find a fix for this last time but cannot remember what it is does anyone have any idea how to fix this 👍

Control them through FSUIPC?

I assume you are referring to a multi jet or turbine engined aircraft.

Is it a default plane or an addon one ?

 

Normally the reverse thrusters are activated by the F2 key, combined with engines at idle and in many cases only at landing speeds and not when just parked somewhere.

 

Are you using a programmable reverser button on a separate flight stick, yolk or any other hardware of that nature ? If so, then you will need to re-assign all their functions, especially after a complete FS9 re-installation, which has re-instated all it's default assignments.

 

Good luck.

From the keyboard you:

 

E 1 2 3 4 in order. This selects all the engines. Some addon panels will not allow this, do it using a default aircraft.

 

Hold down F2 for reverse thrust.

But here's a good one... if you scroll through the entire Keyboard/Joystick Assignments Menu, there is not a specific assignment for "Reverse Thrust". Or else it's called something else in the Menu.

 

I think I changed mine from F2 to F1... I gotta look next time I fire up the Sim. :)

Those are throttle keys- reverse thrust comes from reducing the throttle on the jet engine to idle, then continuing the throttle reduction to increase the reverse thrust. FSUIPC does have a setting for reverse but not FS.
