Flying from KATL to KECP from Gate at KATL. Completed cold start, but when requesting pushback the aircraft moves forward vs. backwards. In addition, the aircraft is unstable during landing/rollout with the nose gear moving right to left in large movements. Reverse thrusters also fail to deploy.

B787-8 operating normally.
Pushback - wait until a/c starts to move backwards before releasing parking brake.
Landing - if you haven’t already done so immediately after landing disable autopilot.
Reverse - find a space - taxiway, ramp, runway-- go to exterior view, zoom in a bit to engine pods and try different reverse actions depending on how you have it mapped or not to your controller.

Thanks so much, the pushback worked nicely per your instructions. I did notice some FMS/FMC issues when I recently upgraded to New Cockpit Bundles (1). Once I Uninstalled this feature in Content Manager, the FMS/FMC, VNAV, approaches returned to normal.

I am still having issues with the landing and rollout. The nose gear inadvertently moves from left to right and is uncontrollable. Also, the reverse thruster mapped to me Logitech Extreme 3d does not engage, even at low speeds up landing. It engages on the tarmac. The reverse thruster should engage as soon as my main landing gear touches down, and the spoilers extend.

I have no issues with the A320, only the 787.

Somewhere, maybe in FSX or X-Plane I recall that the nose wheel had to be on the tarmac for the reversers to work. Try that. I always do that.

You could also try remapping to a different button. Also there are two options, Reverse Toggle and Reverse Hold. Try a different option
