Newbish Suggestion - Reverse Thrust in FA
I'm 2 days into my life in VO and loving it. I've come up with one minor suggestion. It would be nice to change FA mode so that you could use reverse thrust. Currently in FA "W" is increased thrust and "S" is decreased thrust, with FA off "S" becomes reverse thrust.
I'm an oddball here, but I play with a mouse and using the different strafing keys I'm able to turn FPS circle strafing into 3d spherical strafing. Its working well except for when I want to go backwards.
I've ran combat with FA on and off and now find myself toggling it a lot in combat. If "S" became reverse thrust I'd probably stick to FA.
Thanks for the Great Game!
P.S. Scuba Steve - did you play Battle Field DC on the Don't Camp server?

I've always wanted this too.
As long as you don't take away Physics Mode, I'm fine...
Chances are, I'm not a Scuba Steve you know.
I've known Scuba Steve.
Scuba Steve was a friend of mine.
You sir, are no Scuba Steve.

steelerfan - have you TRIED using FA off? There's no difference between a "reverse-able FA" and "FA off." (The only difference between the two flight modes is that in one, you can't go backwards.)

I second reverse thrust. I use it heavily in other flight sims, and the lack of it is disconcerting.
Sounds good to me!
I made a bind/alias group thingy to supplement this feature. It uses physics mode, but tries to emulate flight assist both forward and backwards.

turn off fa and use accel/decel "throttle" I can see where having FA-reverse would go and i kinda don't think it would be a good idea.
I somehow doubt you are using reverse in flight sims ;)
I don't see a particular problem with it tho.

I don't see any problem with it, but I don't think reverse-thrust enabled F/A should be default (but rather be a gui switch or button toggle). If reverse-thrust were enabled from the get-go, many would never try non-FA flight.
