 Found at spadnext.com, this is a package of "drivers" which sits between devices and a Flight Simulator. It allows convenient routing and calculating of values between devices. It costs about $24.
+This is an expression which helps fulfill Flight Reversing in MSFS 2020. Basically, you pull the throttle down, then push and hold the Button 7 (Labeled D on the X52 Saitek throttle controller), then push up to run the Thrust Reverser. Letting go of Button 7 returns normal operation.
+This works by turning the output of Z Axis negative when Button 7 is pressed. Other numbers shown here are needed because the values to be returned to the simulator is about +/- 12K, but the Throttle axis is 0 to 100.
+Letting go of Button 7 causes positive thrust to give some unwanted boost.
+  * On Z_Axis, add event for "Axis value changed"
+  * Simulator event: THROTTLE_SET
