Matthew:
I'm sorry I don't have specific knowledge on the 1900D, but I'd definitely find a way to simulate the condition lever.
Do I understand that you're dedicating a whole lever to the reverser function exclusively? If that's the case, perhaps you can look into a more complex setup that would allow you to dual-purpose your throttle lever as a reverser. I did a little tweaking and made friends with FSUIPC to make it so that my detent button on my throttle reverses the axis. So, once I land, I just bring my throttle below the detent and then when I raise it back up, it controls the reverse thrust.
I don't have any experience controlling beta range with turboprops in FS, but if it's anything like bringing your prop axis into the negative range similar to how you do with the throttle axis on reverse thrust, you might be able to apply the same type of setup I use (substituting the throttle for the prop axis).

The condition levers on the P&W PT6's in the sim are used for startup, shutdown and setting idle speeds (ground and flight idle). I am comfy with just moving them via the mouse click.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the info Tim! I was using them the same way. And as for the others, well I guess all I really need to do is monitor torque and rpm.

Yeah, It is a kinda migration from jetliner use. it works. I read something like that on a site the other day.
Thanks for the help. I will play around with it!
