Reverse Multiple Engines Simultaneously

[BowWhalley]

I want to be able to reverse all engines simultaneously, if I reverse one engine at a time than the plane changes angle ect as you may expect, only solution to that is to not run the engines when switching them, though how can I reverse them all simultaneously without turning off the engines.

Answer: Action Groups.

Use Action groups. While your building your plane make sure you link the engines to action groups. Basically they allow you to activate commands with the number buttons on your keyboard. You can do all kinds of things like deploying solar panels and toggle engines and even reversing their thrust. So to make action groups click on the button on the top bar in between the crew tab and the parts tab and there will be a list of groups to fill with commands.

Use actions groups, simply put the "reverse thrust" action of all the engine in one group and you can reverse all your engines with the press of a button.

Okay, but what if one is playing Career mode and doesn't have Action Groups unlocked yet?

Thankyou guys, action groups completely skipped my mind .

Don't use engines that reverse thrust. I don't think there is any other way, unless their is a key combination for reversing thrust.

You should always have Lights, Gear, and Abort?

second level sph has basic action groups, weird use for abort, but it works

You could use Abort. I always use RCS for flaps on aircraft that don't have thrusters.
