and if FSX did not get its' way and manage to take control from fsuipc the reverse thrust would then be deployed on one side!!! 
Another thing I found with fsuipc is that since I have Track IR I can utilise the hat switch and have me a trim switch there instead, with FSX you cannot use the hat as trim, well you can, but it is only either up or down!! don't know what other assignments to have for the rest of the hat switch as in all probability will forget what I have assigned to them!!
The pan views are now done by the numeric keyboard.The ability to change the way the elevators ailerons as well as rudder respond is also extremely useful. Just do not know why I had never bothered with it before, it has certainly improved my simming experience immensely.

Well.. I ALWAYS use it but not manually. I expect it to sit in the background and do what it does without fuss and to that degree.. it has always worked flawlessly. The last time I had to use it was when I got a CH Throttle quad. At the time, I was using 3 x GoFlight units, a CH Pro Yoke and CH Pedals and having them all working was an impossible task within FS (FS9). The only thing I never got working satisfactorily was reverse thrust off the throttle quad. You should be able to move the throttle levers down to the detent for closed throttle and beyond the detent for reverse. Never got it to work
