It's possible. From Manfred Jahn: Step 1 Find an aircraft that needs reverse pitch props and go to its aircraft.cfg file. This should work for all constant speed prop aircraft. Go to the prop section and find this: prop_reverse_available = 1 minimum_on_ground_beta = 1 minimum_reverse_beta = -14 If the section is already like this, leave it, if not change to the above values or add them. Step 2 Next go to beta_max = Now take the value there and subtract 1 and make it a negative # and put it in the beta_feather = Area. (If there is no feather value they will need to be added) Step 3 You must make sure that the power_absorbed_cf = has a value of 0.1 if not props will go out of control. Also make sure that the min_rpm_for_feather = is 0 Step 4 test! Use the steps below to test while aircraft is at a standstill. If it moves backwards you did it! (Note: make aircraft is not overloaded before testing. Use in the sim To make the props reverse do these following steps: 1. Once on ground hit Ctrl + F1. (Or move prop pitch lever all the way back 2. Then hold Ctrl + F2 You will see on the rpm gauge that the rpm drops below its usual minimum. As soon as you see that, then advance the throttle. 3. To return props to normal hit Ctrl + F4. (Or move prop pitch lever all the way forward 4. That’s it!

Actually, there is a way to make any constant speed prop in FSX have reverse thrust. This is from the great Manfred Jahn: Step 1 Find an aircraft that needs reverse pitch props and go to its aircraft.cfg file. This should work for all constant speed prop aircraft. Go to the prop section and find this: prop_reverse_available = 1 minimum_on_ground_beta = 1 minimum_reverse_beta = -14 If the section is already like this, leave it, if not change to the above values or add them.
