FSX Carenado C90B King Air Working Torrent

Typically the way it works is you bring your throttles back to idle, press the "toggle thrust reversers" button on your joystick, then you have to move the throttle forward again to increase the amount of reverse thrust you're generating. Is that working for you?
That's interesting, thanks for the additional details! And sorry for my late reply. Unfortunately I'm not sure at the moment why reverse isn't working for you. It seems to work fine for me in X-Plane 10.42, but I have slightly older versions of the planes. I do remember X-Plane has an option now to treat the power lever like in the real plane, where pulling it all the way back is full reverse, all the way forward is full forward, and idle is somewhere in the middle. That might be involved, but I'm not sure.
Spend some time figuring out how to get VNAV working with certainty instead of just pressing some buttons hoping it will work. Problem here there is no indication of the TOD (so you don't really know where the vertical navigation path is) and also no indication of VNAV being armed. Since VNAV only works if you intercept the invisible vertical navigation path from below you have to make sure not to fly too high before enabling VNAV (because then it simply won't intercept it and work!).
Since there is no visible TOD you have to make sure to do step 2 and 3 in time, so before you hit the invisible vertical navigation path! As I said, you can only intercept the vertical path from below (just like with an ILS) so if you forget these steps and are flying at 5000 ft AGL while being at the FAF already, you will never get VNAV working. Tip: do step 2 and 3 as soon as you are at cruising altitude.
I'm surprised you got FLC working well. It seemed to work for me but only if another vertical mode (like VS) was set prior to departure. As you know you can simply press FLC then engage AP and the real one will bug your speed climb out at it. Doesn't seem to work so well in the Car version. And yeah the NAV engaging the AP... ugh. Though I think Bert found this only occurs when you've loaded a flight plan into the FMS. Also I've found some oddities with the changing of NAV source on the PFD... but ya - like you said - no PMDG. (PMDG - how bout a king air!!)
