Easy problem to resolve, easier still if your physical throttles have an actual reverse detent. You have two choices:

1. Have a button that toggles reverse thrust, then you advance the levers forward to increase reverse thrust.
2. Set your physical throttles at their idle point, or invent one, and then in the sensitivity screen, adjust the Neutral point so that the white dot is sitting on the central horizontal line, exactly half way up. Now, when you pull your physical levers back past the Neutral/Idle point, it will go into reverse thrust without any buttons needed.

Propeller reverse thrust set up

These are bindings I am using: [image] The bit that makes it work is on the sensitivities interface: [image] The “Neutral” setting specifies the point where you cross into reverse thrust. My TQ6+ has a detent for idle, so I simply rest both throttles at this detent, then adjust the “Neutral” point so that the dot as shown above rests on the horizontal line. Forward thrust is below the line, and the steeper curve above the line is reverse thrust. No button necessary, and you can alter the…

Option 2 works for me on every jet, and turboprop I have used it on. No custom configurations on the controller profile screen either. I use the same profiles for all planes.
