How do you reverse / move backwards while on the ground in the F-16?
the rear gear is bottom right position of your gear lever
an alternative is to turn back on your seat and push throttle fwd

Never had to think of it, but you can’t.

At the Naval Air Station a young ground-crew member was being trained on how to direct an F-14 into the fuel pit for hot refueling. The instructor gave him a go and after quite some wild arm weaving the F14 was parking, but when checking they discovered that he had taxied the aircraft too far forward from the fuel hose to reach the airplane.
“You’ll have to send him around again,” said the instructor.
“What?” he said, surprised. “They spend millions on these things and you can’t even put them in reverse?”
The correct answer to your question, is to shut the airplane down, evacuate the cockpit, and have the ground crew walk it backwards for you. Obviously, this is not an option in BMS.
If you absolutely need to reverse, about your best option is to hold inside brake and apply low power and full rudder into the turn.
VietNam-era pilots of OV-10 Bronco observation planes delighted in playing a nasty practical joke on jet fighter pilots when the two types of aircraft were stopped on the ramp, taxiway or runway threshold. When a Bronco pilot saw that the fighter pilot had deigned to notice his presence, the Bronco pilot would reverse his prop pitch and release his brakes, moving backward a foot or two. The fighter pilot would interpret the change of their relative positions as indicating that his fighter was creeping forward, and would stand even harder on his brakes. The Bronco pilot would repeat the trick, inducing panicky reactions from the fighter pilot who feared that his brakes were faulty and his plane was about to move onto the runway in front of landing traffic.

thanks for all the answers.
Escape then E is the way to go then… -
Brake on the one side you want to turn and then slowly a litte bit of power… the jet turns more or less on the place it stands.

He answered by himself…
Nice one m8.

You need the 4WD variant of the f-16, but you have to edit the save file with a hex editor to unlock it since its top secret.

If you want to taxi backwards jump into a harrier, exhaust angle 120, roll on, and park that thing like a minivan Make sure to use your mirrors and have a spotter, equipped with glow wands and a reflective belt, guide you back safely.

Quite correct. This triggers the ground crew to hook up the jet with a tow bar and move it back into position.

Fire the gun would do it I guess.
Pretty sure it’s not implemented. So devs can you put in onto the wishlist please? -

Pretty sure it’s not implemented. So devs can you put in onto the wishlist please?i know the A-10 gun has enough kick to it to act as a brake after landing. but does the f16 vulcan have enough kick to move it backwards? it’s not nearly as powerfull compared to the flying cannon of the a-10

actually from the real gun compensation flcs laws, i have been able to calculate accuratly the energy from the gun and so the force

It was meant as a joke, but that it is implemented is very cool!
I won’t be using it anyway (on the ground - I never tried it but I assume it’s disabled when wow? ) , but still awesome.

We need a new feature… In-flight tyre replacement… :razz: :eek:

Don’t be absurd!! That is obviously not realistic! We all know you need a massive jack for the aircraft and at least some pneumatic tools to get the bolt on/off…. and besides, pilots don’t do that bit! :uham:
