A320 Fenix Engine (2) Reverse Thrust Fault

[ltrock364]

Since updating to SimUpdate 10 in MSFS2020, I noticed a common issue during startup where the right engine (2), ends up with a Stuck open Reverse Engine Casing. In real life this is a bad problem according to some real world pilots, in fact its a NO DISPATCH situation. However, in the game, I found a way to make it okay.

During startup, even with the fault error reading out on the ECAM, go ahead and start and taxi as normal. Once on the Taxiway, I found that running the engines in reverse momentarily and setting back to IDLE, closed those casing doors! The rest of my flight was flawless.

Now, in real life, I would imagine throwing the engine in reverse on the tarmac might cause some complaints, so if you are a real pilot please don't try this...Consult your checklist and company policies please :)

Hope this might help some of my fellow sim users out there solve this annoying startup problem.
