What part of me saying 'if that is true' are you struggling with?


The 'if thats true bit' was fine, no problem with that at all, as for the rest of your post.........

When you're off the ground you press the button once; now the handle is in the up position and the gear is actually up.

If you press it a second time the handle goes to the neutral position but the gear still stays up.

Press it a third time and the handle and gear move to the down position.

+1 I was thinking the same keller.

Go try it. Start cross-county, press g once - nothing happens, press it again - gear is locked down, press it again - gear comes up.

Of course, you start in the air with gear up, first push -> neutral, second push -> gear down, third push -> gear up again.

I didn't realize you were talking about an air-start.

If you'd said "from a ground start you have to push [G] 3 times to get your gear back down" nobody would have disagreed with you.

No the question becomes; if you're air starting, how often would you actually need your gear to go down and back up again?

The bug exists. I've checked it with a mate on TS, he had red lights on the undercarriage indicator, but I saw his landing gear down.

Cheers,
Insuber

Cheers,

I'm not talking about an air-start :confused:

Maybe I've forgotten the name of the quick mission, isn't "cross-country" the quick mission where you start in the blennie (default) on the ground?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that this bug doesn't exist, but I'm fairly sure at least some of the people experiencing it online are falling foul of the 109's gear system and not checking the in-cockpit instruments.

BGs_Ricky 11-24-2011 08:05 AM

I forgot once to press twice the gear-up button in a 109, I very quickly noticed something was wrong because the plane was shaking badly and wouldn't go faster than about 300km/h, so even if you don't check your controls I doubt someone would fly to the other side of the channel and engage in combat without noticing his gear is down...
