Prop Reverse

Discussion Hub General Discussion

I’ve seen this discussed before but haven’t been able to find an answer.

What I’m looking for is how to have a keybinding that I can press and then use my throttle to increase reverse thrust.

  1. throttle to idle
  2. land
  3. press a reverse thrust key
  4. increase throttle but the thrust is reversed

Is this possible? If so, what’s the correct keybinding called? Thanks!

To the best of my knowledge…not possible in MSFS. There is a key bind to what I believe is the “full throttle decrease” or something to that extent that gives you full reverse thrust on jets and props but is not a toggle that allows you to axis-control the amount of reverse to apply. Yes I know…bummer!!!

Depends on the aircraft. With tubes, you can use reverse thrust on landing and to get away.

Some propellors can do it too, you can try Pilatus, it has a bottom of the range reverse thrust (a little), just push it through zero with the decrease throttle. Similar there’s an addon that accepts “going through zero” for TBM-930, You just decrease thrust further, propellor goes reverse

(not sure if this is an answer…)

It sure is. I think the default “\” key is bound to it. If yours isn’t, search for “Toggle Throttle Reverse Thrust”, which activates the beta range.

I’m open to being corrected on this, but I think on a turboprop, reverse thrust is controlled with the throttle (i.e. the beta range), not the prop. Feather is controlled with the prop, but can’t be used for reverse thrust and is used to decrease the aerodynamic drag on an unpowered propeller (like a failed engine). With that in mind, there’s also a Toggle Propeller Reverse thrust which toggles the feather range, but is labelled ambiguously (if I understand it correctly).

Anyway, it works like you said: 1) Throttle to idle, 2) Toggle reverse, 3) Throttle up.

i think i got it work the way I wanted (at least on the Milviz PC-6). The magic key is called TOGGLE THROTTLE REVERSE THRUST. it work like this:

  1. throttle axis to idle and land
  2. press TOGGLE THROTTLE REVERSE THRUST
  3. increase throttle axis
  4. reverse thrust engaged

This set of actions actually continues moving the throttle handle in the simulator backwards into reverse range using your throttle axis. Pressing it again reverses it and the throttle goes back forward.

Now not sure if this works in other turbo props or jets, but HUZZAH!

This works in the Kodiak also. Pretty sure it was fixed in today’s update.

Yes, also in the Caravan. It should work on all beta range equipped turboprops.

this works just fine in the TBM as well
