How can I reverse thrust. The only way I know how to is opening up the throttle panel and clicking both throttles and pulling them back all the way but I want to reverse thrust faster than that. I have the saitek throttle to and when you push it all the way back it still doesnt do reverse thrust.

I tried looking for a button maybe but there is no button. Is this the only way to do it? Huh

Hi,

Set up a 'spare' button on your joystick for reverse thrust, ie as in pressing F2, but pull throttle all the way back then use F2/joystick button, at around 70-80 knts just nudge throttle forward then back again to idle to cancel it and then use just wheel brakes.

regards
Steve

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs, but that is due to change

Thanks Steve. Thats exactly what I did when I found the F2 function. I have spoiles and reverse thrust right next to each other on my joystick function. Cool

I will give a big "thumbs up" for Glenn's ARM gauge - in fact most of his gauges are well worth auditioning.

They help anyone whose memory is not what it used to be - i.e. those of us who forget to put down the gear or arm the spoilers etc. etc.
