Does anyone know how to get the thrust reversers to work with the thrustmaster warthog hotas?
IIRC you need to bind a button to ādecrease throttleā (or separately to decrease throttle 1 and decrease throttle 2), and activate that after reducing throttle to 0. This should go into negative and activate reverse thrust.

I have a button that works t on other planes, but not on CRJ.
What needs to be changed? why canāt this jet play along with all settings that work on all the other planes?

Ensure that the 2 toggle switches on the center panel (next to where the pilots right leg would be) are switched to enable reversers.
Because. He just told you, you need to bind āDecrease Throttleā not āToggle Reverseā.
I did not know about that āHold Reverseā binding. Neo, are you sure about that? Thatās not documented.
Thanks guys - and M you noted āthats not documentedā does that mean there is details of this in the manuals provided?
Yes, you didnāt read the manuals? You really need to do the Tutorial flight or you will be back here with more questions.
I use the Logitech Throttle Quadrant with the button built into the bottom of the axis. My assignment is DECREASE THROTTLE 1 and 2 respectively. The first time it did not work for me because the two toggle switches had not been switched to on before landing. After finding those and turning them onā¦ it worked great. Keep in mind, the levers animated but no reverser was active untile those switches were flipped.
Thanks iāll do just that and take your advice on the tutorial flight.
Hm, I was just trying that out on my X56 throttle. I canāt get ātoggle reverseā or āhold reverseā to work. Only ādecrease throttleā. Can you bind āhold reverseā to any other button, or only the slider?
Edit: my slider was already bound to ātoggle reverseā which I use for all other aircraft. I havenāt tried āhold reverseā though.

Yeah, Iāve been using the slider for this purpose since release. I just checked it. Hold Reverse does nothing on the CRJ. It works fine on the A320 and other default aircraft. How do you have your throttle set up in the EFB?
P.S. I know what toggle means and that the slider sends multiple cycles until you turn it off.
But we were talking about the CRJ specifically in this thread. He was asking about the CRJ thrust reversers and you stated that the āHold Reverseā binding works for the CRJ. The documentation specifically says it doesnāt and you need to use āDecrease Throttleā. If you donāt have the CRJ, why are you giving advice on the CRJ thrust reversers?
You got me all excited and now you let me down, man.
Edit: Please edit your post above and change the information so it does not confuse other readers.

I have the X56 as well, I normally use the button on the back of the throttle next to the two push buttons. It is very intuitive and works a motion like your actually, pulling up on the levers from behind to me.
It only works on other planes, how can we get the thrust reversers to deploy on X56?
Like @Neo4316 mentioned, for all default planes, using the thumb slider on the X56 throttle works great. Bind it to āHold Reverseā

Thanks, ill try that.
I have the setup for manually activating the thrust reversers, what I donāt understand is when putting the switches to armed, why are they not deploying automatically. Thatās the whole point of āARMEDā!
I have a warthog throttle and the CRJ and have the reversers work by simply pulling the levers back beyond idle.
To achieve that, i have just removed the default AB detent and replaced it with one that i originally bought for the FF A320. That insert has exactly the same number of detents as the CRJ needs and using the throttle calibration, these can be lined up with the computer model, including the idle detent.
With the default AB insert, there is no usable axis behind the idle detent, but with the A320 insert, you are able to have a fair bit of axis that can be used to control the amount of reverse thrust.
You could do this without an insert, but it will far easier with. You should be able to get one from somewhere like Shapeways or even print one yourself if you have a 3d printer. Try to get one with an idle detent. Mine didnāt so i had to letās say manually adjust it to make one.
The screenshot below shows how i have my throttles set up.
What is the exact name of the function, I do not see hold reverse.
Itās āHold Reverseā. Thatās why i put it in quotes.
