In real life, the Concorde was able to use reverse thrust in subsonic flight with its 2 inboard engines. This was obviously done to increase rate of descent, and decrease speed. Jet-Pack (IPACS)
The Concorde should be able to reverse thrust mid air.

Yes and this is also simulated. Might not be possible with the slider on mobile but if you pull the reverse thrust levers in the cockpit or the assigned joystick channel on desktop it works.

On mobile could you make it so that on the Concorde when you use brakes in the air with the throttle of the left that reverse thrust comes on? It would be much easier than in the cockpit, thanks.
Speaking of the Concorde, the afterburners should be updated as well.

It’s very easy to activate the inboard reversers on mobile. I’ve done it over a dozen times. Why would the afterburners need to be updated?

How in mobile? Do you mean with auto throttle off or pulling reverse sliders up while looking down at the levers?

Go in the cockpit and activate reverse. But then you’ll also have to throttle in the cockpit because using the slider disabled the reverse thrust.

You mean with manual throttle on final approach and touch-screen pulling the centre pair of reverser levers in front of the throttles?
(The Concorde's drag increased greatly as speed was reduced once in the unique very nose high landing attitude. Manual throttle speed control was exceptionally difficult.)

Yes, unfortunately that is how. I think for the Concorde there should be 2 sliders. One for reverse thrust, and the other for the normal throttle (When you’re on the ground the reverse one would go away and using brakes would activate reverse thrust). Using 50% reverse in the air would make the 2 inboard engines go full reverse, 100% would be all engines (in the air of course). Also when you set the reverse throttle, it will stay at 50%/100%.
