Hi,
This is something I would love to implement, but I do not know how with the current state of the FADEC. The throttle position is tensely tied into the calculations, and if you shift them all up a bit, it won't work anymore. Everything from the detent logic, to autopilot logic, to EPR and N1 thrust limit, thrust command, and prediction calculations, A/THR... and even other things like autobrake and autospoiler are connected to this data. It there was a way to bind the reverse zone to a negative number in /controls/engines/engine[x]/throttle, then I could easily implement it, but as of right now, you can't (AFAIK).
Lots of these data would need to be fixed too, so then this reverse zone would be there for everybody, which I think is a bad idea. I am open to suggestions however, if you'd like to meet on Mumble, IRC, or elsewhere to have a longer discussion about it, I'm up for that.
Today I rewrote the entire FCS system (not the FBW part), and therefore all control surfaces are FINALLY implemented properly. I also rewrote the spoiler control system to make it more realistic, and fixed the autospoiler moving the cockpit lever. A33X is next.
Kind Regards,
Josh
