As far as I can see in the manual the thrust reverse buckets can only be activated by looking down at the switches in the cockpit ? no success so far as I usually run off the runway whilst looking for the switches.
Can F2 be adapted for this? or can anyone tell me off a quick and easy way ? |

How I do it is by right-clicking both throttles whilst on final to land; as at that point you shouldn't be needing to go any more than dry thrust, and once you touch down and the reversers deploy, just push the throttle forwards to slow down.
I'm not aware of any button/shortcut for this, but that's how I get around having to click the throttles. Max

You can 'rock the throttles outboard' to arm the lift dumpers and reverse thrust by using the spoiler arm assignment (Shift+/ by default).

I use the "air brakes arm" (or similar) command using a joystick switch programmed using FSUIPC.

Many thanks for that advice I tried the Shift+/ and it worked straight away, had a few bells and whistles come up on landing but am getting there.

The Bells and Whistles are the Re-ingest warning, Telling you to stow the buckets as you are at risk of the engines re-ingesting their own exhaust which would do them no good. If memory serves it kicks in at 50-60 Knots.
