Microsoft Flight Simulator Keyboard Keys

Flight simulator X no product key required

On Microsoft Flight Simulator X, where are the reverse thrusters located?

And what keys on the keyboard do I push to deploy them?

In the Settings / Controls / Buttons/Keys section of FSX, you’ll find a list of commands that can be altered to your preferences. You’ll find that there is no Reverse Thruster command in the list. I assigned a button on my joystick to the Throttle (Decrease Quickly) command and that seems to work on most aircraft for reverse thrust. You can also go into the aircraft’s cockpit view and use the aircraft’s throttle controls for reverse thrust. However, not all aircraft will have reverse thrust capabilities…such as the default FSX Bombardier CRJ-700. For the aircraft that don’t have reverse thrust, you can use the Push Back command (you may have to assign a button or key to it) which simulates a tug pushing the aircraft back.
