For anyone testing this note that the Longitude will automatically reduce reverse thrust starting at 85 knots. So you have a small window for the engines to spool back up before you hit 85 knots. Part of the “issue” I see with the Longitude is that the brakes are incredibly strong so it is already stopping very quickly – if I touch down at 110 knots and brake it’s already below 85 knots before the reversers can really get deployed and engines spooled up. Try touching down at 130 knots on a very long runway, don’t use any brakes at all, and deploy the reversers while well above 85 knots.

dunno about 2020 as I don’t own it but they do deploy in 2024 both visually and shows in the avionics – they aren’t very strong but do seem to work briefly if you catch them early enough. Not being an actual Longitude pilot it’s hard to say what is realistic and what isn’t but I found the article about it interesting and I also had thought maybe they didn’t work at all.
Same issue here. I’m curious others also ran the FlyByWire installer and went through throttle config steps. It may have happend after that, but I am not sure.
You’d think that with all the talk on the forums about how much the importance of ‘immersion’ is to most folks, this would be one of the things that MS/Asobo would want to correct, IMHO. After all, it worked at one time, and appears that it was taken away by an update.
