Bestandskraft Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Page 175 of the game manual describes the landing gear emergency extension procedure. It is explained that pulling the nose leg autonomous extension handle causes the nose leg to be released from its up-lock and the corresponding red light to extinguish. Pages 200-202 of the "MiG-21 Pilot's Operating Instructions", a .pdf of which can be found at http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=138880, clarify that after actuating the nose leg release, the nose leg should extend and normally even get engaged by a down-lock, causing the corresponding green light to illuminate, irrespective of whether the main wheel emergency control valve is actuated. In the game, the main wheel emergency control valve causes all three legs to extend, but only if the nose leg release has previously been actuated. Actuating the nose leg release by itself has no effect. It would be nice to either have the game manual reflect the actual workings of the game, or even better, modify the simulated emergency gear extension to work as in the real world.

Golo Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) The nose leg autonomus extention handle causes nose gear to be released from up-lock and extinguishing red light on the contol panel. If the nose gear failed to lock in down-lock increase airspeed to 700kph and apply alternating G load to make sure nose gear is extended refering to indicator. Thats what it say not that it should always extend and lock. Last I checked it was working for me. Edit: Actualy I cheked it again, and it in fact does not work as it should. The nose wheel does not get disengaged from up-lock when extention handle is pulled and the light wont go out. Edited October 13, 2015 by Golo
