why we can reverse the engine on bugsier, i m surprise to see this.

Hi Chouby-20... you turn the pods so they face backwards (green down) and increase throttle then you reverse.

The Azimuth drives or Schottel drives is pulling instead of pushing as a normal propulsion system, and the increased maneuverability is quite fantastic as the drives turn 360 degrees, only thing is that you have to be aware of the direction of the drive before increasing power....

Hope I understod your question correct and that you can use my answer...

I think he meant that if you reverse the ship by turning the engine around, why is it possible to put the engine in reverse.   Same applies to other vessels and the Hovercraft and I guess the answer is that the standard controls have a reverse function (and probably would be difficult to change?) I doubt it is because VSTEP didn't notice.
Just because the reverse function is there doesn't mean that we have to use it.

Hello,
You are quite right, thassos, it is indeed like you told. You also could have added that although the sound of the engines and the revs increase, there is no reverse thrust at all, as if a clutch had disengaged the engine.
