OK, I submitted my ZenDesk report (135069).
I hope this gets fixed sooner than later. For now, I’m using the work around of the “Decrease Throttle” key binding to engage reverse thrust on either prop or jet aircraft.
I encourage all our fellow simmers to submit a ZenDesk ticket in order to bring increased visibility to this issue.
Slightly off topic, i noticed non of the jet fighters have reverse thrust, also cannot find propeller powered planes with it either?
The work around works much better than original though, i have found.
yeah, i guess in trying to baby the bravo throttle quadrants, they messed up the reverse thrust for the rest of us.
oh, i mean, Yep, reverse thrust broken here too

Turbojets as used in military jets tend not to have reverse thrust. The Williams engines on the CJ4 don’t either (corrected by the WT mod).
Also fixed prop aircraft do not have reverse thrust. Variable pitch props can produce ‘reverse thrust’
So, some time prior to SU7 there was going to be a peripherals beta test phase…
Which was cancelled…
I’m guessing that they messed around with a whole bunch of the input control stuff for SU7?
No, the beta peripherals test wasn’t cancelled. They asked for people to sign up to participate via one of the weekly updates.
But testing aint the same as fixin
So map nothing to “toggle reverse thrust” and simply map a button to “decrease throttle”.
Go to the controls menu, click in the “search by input” box and press that switch, sliding it towards you. Make sure you don’t have conflicts. It’s #8.
Type in “decrease throttle” in the “search by name” box above that one. Should be clear. Click in the input box and press the switch. Save.
Test before take off. The first press will “decrease the throttle.” You’ll notice the throttle cut to 0. If you’re just sitting it should already be there. If you’re landing, you should should pretty much be there(or on your way) as you’re touching down.
Press again once it hits 0 when you’d normally engage RT to stop. I usually hold it for 2 seconds. RT should activate and hold at 52% or so on the 78X. Do not touch the throttle again until you want it to disengage.
Disclaimer: I only fly the Boeing airliners. This works exactly the same on the 747. I don’t use the Airbus planes, so I’m not sure if it works there. I assume it does. I also have the throttle levers split. Left is brakes(air and wheel) and right is throttle. I’d also have a button mapped for the wheel brakes. I use the red button on the left lever for that.
thank you very much
really appreciated

Assuming the functionality of this doesn’t change with a future update, I plan on sticking with it even if the previous method is fixed. Previously, I’d just press the button and RT would activate switching the throttle to RT. That, for whatever reason, wasn’t nearly as smooth stopping-wise as this is. I really like this method. Works quite well once you have it down.
i would like to know how much reverse throttle is applied setup both ways? Decrease throttle only applies a certain amount of reverse thrust, is it the same for the setting before SU7?
The “fix” is approximately 52%. It’s plenty when coupled with wheel brakes and spoilers. Stopping distance isn’t compromised at all. I can’t remember what it was previously, however. Never took a screenshot of it.
I agree. Just got all my planes working properly and now no reverse thrust using my logwitech throttle quad
Saitek/Logitech/Madcatz Throttle Quad:
I have always had the the reverse thrust set as Decrease Throttle using the switch in the lower detent on the axis for throttle 1 and 2 (747= 2 engines mapped to axis 1 & axis 2).
Still functioning as set up, after this update.
Method is simple: Lower to idle=idle. Move into detent and leave it there= reverse thrust. Moving back to idle= cancels reverse.
*Each stock aircraft that uses reverse thrust, has a different default maximum reverse percentage programmed. If my memory is correct the TBM was 30%, 747 was 60% etc. Placing into reverse slowly raises the thrust to the preset % and holds it at that percentage, until the lever is placed back into idle.
My Logitech X56 throttle is so sensitive to inputs that mapping reverse thrust to any button on the lever itself is useless because even the tiniest little movement caused by my finger pushing a button makes cancels the reverse thrust action. I’ve got to find another way to bind this.
i have the exact same issue on xbox series x with my thrustmaster hotas one
“Hold Throttle Reverse Thrust functionality is broken.
Expected functionality: When throttle pulled back to 0 then pressing Hold Throttle Reverse Thrust, then pushing throttle forward, engines should go on reverse thrust.
Issue: Reverse thrust does not engage, instead throttle increases.
(Same is true if Toggle Reverse Thrust is used.)”
reverse thrust worked perfectly before SU7 …
How long for a fix for these issues?
I have the same issue with reverse thrust too!
I have ‘toggle reverse thrust’ bound to a button on my throttle. If I go to full throttle and then toggle it, it stays on full reverse thrust. However any throttle input/movement/jitter at all, disables reverse thrust and reverts back to forward thrust.
The workaround with “Throttle Decrease” works okay with the Logitech/Saitek throttle quadrant.
However, the input is delayed for about 1 sec. In case of the PC6, which already has a turbine that reacts quite slowly, this additional delay can be a problem, especially on very short runways.
Any idea how to get rid of this delay?
