Hi. How do I engage the reversers after landing? I tried a lot but the control just engage the brakes. (100%)
Reversers on jets

The reversers are only used to about 70kts. Below that speed it would not be safe to operate them and therefore they are not used when you pull the throttle slider back into the brake area.

May I assume that the reversers are automatically deployed at landing?

The reversers are deployed only when you pull the slider down and when you are above 70kts on the ground.

ok tks

But that's not like IRL. E.g. Airbus specifically states that maximum reverse thrust can be used until coming to a full stop in case of e.g. a rejected takeoff.
Furthermore a powerback would not be possible if there would be a speed limit for activation.

Jet-Pack (IPACS) I have heard that they can be used some until 60kts I guess it depends on the airline

Furthermore, if a speed limit exists, it's only valid for the application of reverse thrust. For idle reverse there's no limit in any case and on many jets it can be observed that idle reverse is being used to control the taxi speed.
