OK, so I was just messing around with the demo and have decided that as soon as VISA is happy with me about this months payment I will definately be
getting FSPassengers. Now, one thing I noticed is that in the flight I did in the 737 when I taxied out I tossed the reversers on with Auto-Spoilers
to test the reversers and the spoilers auto-deployment. This is a quick test as in the procedures and I did not deploy reversers until landing and
they came back off at about 75 KIAS, so why did I get a penalty for deploying reversers below 60 KIAS? It wasn't like I got lazy and decided to use
them to slow down my slightly fast taxi instead of the wheel brakes. I guess my suggestion is that there be a coding of some sort of (if possible, I
know how difficult coding for FS can be) code that allows for a quick test of the reversers without penalty. Say "as long as N1 is below X" or "as
long as reverser deployment is less than X seconds" and only before takeoff, not after. This way a reverser test on the taxiway is permitted, but
still holding you to real world procedures. Afterall, you don't run full reversers on the ground unless your having to do a powerback and that
happens extremely rarely.
