spyro23 Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) I’ve noticed problem with a landing gear behavior on the ground when stationary. If you move handle to retract landing gear and the aircraft is stationary all three struts will collapse/retract. I think that since main wheels retract inward (and a bit forward) to the fuselage it should not collapse because of friction between tires and ground, in other words actuators are most probably too weak to retract landing gear. Additionally because of the auto-brake feature we can disregard forward component of the strut movement. If then you will move LG handle down, the main gear struts will extend lifting the whole aircraft. On the side note: landing gear doors could be damaged and whatever is under centerline pylon could not sink under ground level when landing gear collapses – I don’t know if it is possible within DCS engine.
