Honeycomb Aeronautical isn’t one of those companies that would be in the community for twenty or more years like their competition, though they changed the hardware market a lot and, in many aspects, have outgrown their competition.

It should work with default MSFS 2020 aircraft that use the default engine 1 / engine 2 fuel cutoff axis assignment.Essentially, each axis has independent dual-function reverse thrust, so there is an option for going below idle into the reverse thrust/ beta range like on turboprops.
