Title: an issue with Reverse Thrust
Post by Crawford Moyes on May 8th, 2020 at 10:16pm
There seems to be an issue with Reverse Thrust in 0.94 that wasn't in 0.93.  I have Reverse Thrust Axis mapped in P3D.  It works fine in 0.93 but not in 0.94.

When the Reversers are deployed using the Axis the reverser handles no longer move and the Green/Yellow REV annunciator in the EICAS only momentarily displays.  Viewing the external model the Reverser doors appear to flicker as if they are trying to move but do not open.

Anyone the confirm the issue?

Any chance it got smth to do with the following 0.94 fix?

– Hydraulic pressure for operation of the left and right engine thrust reversers comes from the left and right hydraulic systems respectively. Loss of either hydraulic system renders the associated thrust reverser inoperative.

What are those yellow warnings on the EICAS in your video?

The yellow warnings are just TCAS OFF and WINDOW HEAT.  The hydraulic system was fully operational in the videos I posted.

Also, I think by quoting your own change log:

– Hydraulic pressure for operation of the left and right engine thrust reversers comes from the left and right hydraulic systems respectively. Loss of either hydraulic system renders the associated thrust reverser inoperative.

It shows that you have been making changes to reverse thrust logic so in fixing one bug maybe you have introduced another?

I have demonstrated this twice now via videos using basic P3D setup which shows the 0.93 and 0.94 difference.  The reverser axis also works fine just now in your 757 and 777 offerings that I also have.

Maybe. But we need at least 2 more reports on the issue. For now it looks very system specific.

Agreed, I have this issue too. But ONLY if using an axis for reverse. It kind of comes on for a second then constantly stutters on and off. The standard F2 works perfectly.

Just saw that this was in the 0.95 change log and I have checked it out and the P3D reverser axis is working again as expected.  Thank you for fixing.  :)
