Mkay, scratch that. After updating the game to latest version alternate gear release seems to be misbehaving. Did not remember to check the lights.

Gear handle down + alternate gear release works for me. Landing light switch to on + nav lights on works too.

That would be an unwise bet... Many limitations are Mach number based. Climb, cruise profiles. Turn performance, doghouse and PS diagrams. If we want to pretend to use it like the real thing (simulate, anyone?) it would be essential to have the Mach meter fixed.

Ask the Crew Chief? Closing the doors in this context is not something a pilot would do. Alternate Gear Extension is meant to put the airplane safely on the ground, stop on the runway, pin the gears and tow aircraft away. Answer was given as a mean to obtain gear door open visual effect for screenshot purposes, as requested by OP. Not operationally applicable.

Just pull the Landing Gear Alternate Release Handle. Doors will drop.
