It seems to me that, upon landing and engaging the reverse thrusters, (which I have mapped to a button to X52 pro throttle quadrant (F2) ) I find that these reverse buckets do not animate for me, both in FSX Boxed, and Steam versions. I am wondering if there are hydraulic pressures that I need to check before correct operation of this?

Hi, are you watching in real-time or replaying after you have landed, if you are watching a replay (in P3D anyway) you have to leave the reverse thrusters on in real-time to see them in a replay.

(As you know, for the reverse thrusters to work you have to advance the throttles when you have landed)
Hope this helps

Pip

You mentioned 'F2'. Do you mean that you are trying to use the F2 (decrease throttle) assignment? The reverse thrust on the Tornado cannot be activated using the default method of holding down F2, it must be activated by rocking both throttle levers 'outboard' (to the left). Please refer to page 9 of the PDF manual for more info.

Hi, To answer both questions here, Yes I was trying to use the reversers in real time. I am of the understanding that certain animations do not get represented in the playback mode (which I personally don't use).And thank you for that info too Martyn, I will try that out now, and report back on that :)
