Go to controls options, select your device and under power management > throttle > throttle acid tick the box "reverse axis"

I already tried that and didn't work!

Try the keyboard F1,2,3 keys for the throttle control.

Only USAF 640544 livery works normally !
And "reverse axis" doesn't work.

Tried everything throttles into reverser, when click reverser button to turn off it then throttles forward until i change power setting and it goes back into reverser...C'mon man!

Nice looking aircraft...but not fun to fly.  Trying to takeoff, aircraft goes into reverse.  Hit thrust reverse and plane goes forward at enough speed for takeoff but as soon as I cut or adjust throttle, all props seem to go into reverse.  Hit reverse thrust and it again gets up to speed but as soon as I try to slow to start into landing pattern, engines rev into reverse again.  Impossible to control throttle for landings.  Spoils this otherwise very nice aircraft.  I have tried all the fixes I have seen in the forum but none work.  I am just going to dump it from my inventory and suck up the wasted money.

Inside the sim, go to OPTIONS, then select CONTROL OPTIONS, then select KEYBOARD section.  Underneath FILTER , you will see ASSIGNED, click the little arrows in order to change it to ALL. (you may have to select EXPAND / COLLAPSE ALL)
Now you will see all possible keyboard assignments in the middle section, first one is CAMERA, then VR, then RADIO . . . go all the way down to POWER MANAGEMENT, click on it to open up, it will now display all options under power management, here you look for THROTTLE, and click on it to open once again all options under throttle.  Take your time and set up : 
THROTTLE CUT - assign F1 key to it
DECREASE THROTTLE - assign F2 to it
INCREASE THROTTLE - assign F3 to it.
SAVE these options.

When you fly, only use F1, F2 and F3 for throttle.
Your joystick throttle must always be CLOSED, as soon as you touch it during flight, it will go into reverse . . .

Note: As your wheels touch ground during landing, click F1 to cut throttle, then press F2, it will bring on REVERSE THRUST, which is quite nice. . . . press F1 again for engines to settle down, iow cut reverse throttle.

Hi Albie, thanks so much for the information.  I'll reset my controls and give it a shot.  Thanks again for the help.

Got about six hours of troubleshooting into the throttle issue, including roaming through the SDK and swapping files.

The issue appears to be coming from the model file itself.. i've swapped out every other file in the folder with zero success (at times I've had a purple C130 with one engine), reconfigured my joystick/throttle -- with no luck. However, if i swap the model out with the FSX CS-C130 mdl, it appears to work fine. I can't see an airplane, mind you, but the throttle works...

Hoping someone on the CS side releases a fix...  since i can't seem to fix it on my own...
