Reverse thrust again - Jetflyer - 16-09-2005
For some reason I got a penalty for using reverse thrust under 60kts...however on the last update I thought it lowered the allowed speed to 40kts. So
why did a get the penalty?
Re: Reverse thrust again - SWAFO - 16-09-2005
You can disable the penalty altogether in the more_option.cfg file. Some aircraft have problems with the reverse thrust penalties and
FSP.

anyway no mistery, the value "reverse thrust" of Fs2004 was set to 1
and the value "speed" of fs2004 was above 40 kts...
but you can disable it in more_option, next update will have a more pleasant feature
about this penalty: no points taken only a warning text but from time to time the engine may
ingest FOE and fail.

Like the feature Dan
That's the one we had discussed, right?Just remember to keep the percentage of FOD ingestion VERY LOW (in reality, it's well below 1%). Perhaps you
could even add a variable for adjusting the percentage of this happening (or will it be included as a failure along
with bird strikes, etc?). Remember though that some people will certainly not want the chance of this happening,
so I vote to keep the more_option.cfg option about reverse thrust now. That way those that don't want it can
disable the penalty.

I thought I might add something here. There's a plane actually use the reverse thrust for pushback if there's no ground equipment.
Antonov AN72 is said to done that lots of times.
Re: Reverse thrust again - SWAFO - 17-09-2005
Yes, this has been mentioned in the past. Quite a few turbojet aircraft use their reversers for pushback.

Yesss! Great idea Dan (and Brad).

Glad you like it. I'm anxious to test it out!
