Excellent introduction!!. I don't have this aircraft but looks interesting, I was going to wait for the phenom 300 from fs reborn..

Hi Chris, thanks - your comments are always very much appreciated 🙏.
I'm of course eagerly awaiting the FSR Phenom 300 as well (well actually maybe I already have it as I'm on the alpha, but shhh!). I can promise you that will be well worth the wait.
But in the meantime FSW have done a nice job with the Learjet 35A and with it's gauges and rather quirky FC-530 autopilot it's a very different beast from the Phenom - a classic from the golden age of jet.
One of my favourite Matchbox planes I had when I was a nipper was a Lear 35A, so I was always going to be getting this one!

The reverse htrottle didn't realy work for me. What worked for me is: Toggle Throttle reverse trust button 11 + button 10. And use Lever 1 and 3 of the bravo. Throttle 1 axis Joystick R-Axis Z Throttle 2 Axis Joystick R-Axis Y both not reverse axis.

Hi, there are quite a few different ways of arranging reverse thrust and it depends on not just your controller, but also how the thrust axis has been mapped - MSFS offers various options including the +/- 100 axis, which offers scope for a soft detent between forward and reverse which is ok as reverse cannot be engaged in the air by accident (there has to be weight on the wheels).
If I understood your post right, you use separate axes for the reverse thrust? That would work, but definitely wouldn't be my first choice of configuration as it means shifting your hand position at a critical moment.

@@alpinebravo7090 Yes, hadn't thought about that thx. I'm looking forward to your next video.
