rrohde Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I would believe that this is a bug - I can fully retract the landing gear while parked on the ground. I found out about it while landing and accidentally hitting the button on my HOTAS that triggers the gear -- with the same result. Shouldn't there be some sort of mechanisms in place that should prevent that? Especially considering that this is the new Su-27 with the updated PFM. :) PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com

Beagle One Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) It's not a bug, its a feature and it's there for a long time on the Su-25(t) There is nothing stopping you from doing this in an real aircraft that is not full of nanny systems belitteling the pilot. The only way to avoid it is not to use the gear lever. What really helps to hit g by acident is to unbind it from the keyboard and put it on the gear lever of something like the saitek switch panel. In fact the feature is usefull in an emergency since you can stop a plane on the belly better than one without brakes when you run out of runway. (exactly this procedure is recommended in the FC1,2,3 Su-25 manual) btw: he same goes for the braking chute. Edited November 12, 2014 by Beagle One
