Baz000 Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 So, on the buddyspike blue flag server I have had to belly land a damaged MIG-29S several times and I have found a rather persistent problem. I was in Air to Air combat both times and took battle damage from a single AIM-9M missile hitting me, each time I was able to have control over the aircraft but the first time I lost one engine. What happens is I lose hydo system because I am unable to extend air brake to help slow down the aircraft prior to attempting landing. Also, because I lose hydro system this causes flaps and landing gear to not operate. Each time, I did not even attempt to try lowering the landing gear and instead just did belly landing at approx 350 km/hr I was successful at belly landing safely every time due to very shallow decent rate. The problem is when I tried to repair the MIG-29S once fully stopped on the runway and with engines shut down after belly landing. The repair is successful, but the landing gear fails to lower when the repair is completed... This has happened each time to me every time I have landed doing belly landing in buddy spike blue flag server. After repair is completed it is impossible to lower the landing gear. The only solution I have found was to go to spectator and grab another plane. But this is not good because I have to spawn in MIG-29S at different airfield and fly again to the other airfield to provide CAP again. I hope this will help explain the issue so when the MIG-29 get its update like the SU-27 has this issue will not plague it.
Hadwell Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 yeah the gear doesn't go down if you try and land without it, and then repair... but even if they hydrolics fail, and the flaps and airbrake don't work, usually the gear will still go down so the only thing i can suggest is to always put the gear down (try at around 350kph, it won't go down if you're going too fast) the mig-29 is still using old flaming cliffs 1/2 stuff, so some of the problem might be that.

Baz000 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) landing gear came down despite having lost hyro from battle damage when I tried lowering gear to land this time around... Flaps and air brake don't work I suppose to keep enough hyro for gear to lower... **EDIT** I just finished repair and the landing gear was down this time but I got more damage when landing because of hitting aircraft wreckage debris from AI, shown 3 green lights and even after successful repair still showing 3 green lights and the MIG-29S was still stuck to the ground. I really think this is some kind of ground repair bug... Edited June 6, 2016 by Baz000
