It is not currently possible to add your own commands like you can with X-Keypad. This is mainly because SimConnect-based sims like FSX/P3D/MSFS do not work the same as X-Plane. There is not an unlimited number of variables and controls like there is with X-Plane datarefs. I can only add buttons for which there are variables and events defined in the SimConnect interface.
I'll take a look and see if there are SimConnect events for setting the elevator trim and reverse thrust. I'm pretty sure there are. I didn't include things like that in the initial version because most pilots map those controls to buttons or axes on their joystick/yoke/throttle, because you generally don't want to be taking your eyes off the screen when you adjust trim or engage reversers.
Please let me know what other controls besides trim and reversers you would like to see added.
Thanks!
