I just did a quick test mission - got to 10k, right above Nellis AFB and shutdown both engines, lowered the gear handle, no joy. Then cranked up the APU - nada. Started the right engine while performing a high-key pattern to land - once the engine was stable , the gear came down. Finally, I started the left engine but it didn’t spool up in time as i approached to land - this plane is a brick — it has the same flying characteristics as an F-4E. BTW: I left the flaps in the auto position.
Ps: I made Capt too - that was a surprise.
