Phantom453 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 If you (toggle) retract the undercarriage with weight on the wheels the undercarriage still retracts. This can occur while either stationary or rolling. Surprisingly, the aircraft will eventually settle on its retracted undercarriage (without any prop strike occurring - just cuts through the ground) and you can still take off in this condition. I'm just reporting the undercarriage retracting with weight on wheels issue here. Obviously there is a long way to go with the damage model, so the prop/ aircraft sinking into the ground/ no damage I'll put down to Early Access at this stage. Found this on the Instant Action "Cold Start" and "Ready for Take-off" missions.

bbrz Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 I'm just reporting the undercarriage retracting with weight on wheels issue here. Not a bug. Happens with the real Yak-52 as well. ;) i7-7700K 4.2GHz, 16GB, GTX 1070
AcroGimp Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 You can retract the gear in the real plane with WOW under some conditions, and the plane was designed to land with the gear retracted with little damage depending on the orientation of the prop which is itself designed to shatter in order to prevent damage to nosecase and rest of the engine. It is an exceedingly clever design.

How about the shock loading on the crankshaft? i7-7700K 4.2GHz, 16GB, GTX 1070
Toriy Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 If you (toggle) retract the undercarriage with weight on the wheels the undercarriage still retracts. This can occur while either stationary or rolling. IRL there are 2 levers - in the 1st cabin and in the 2nd (Instructor cabin). The lever in the second cabin is a command lever. If the 2nd lever is down or up the 1st lever will not work. Only if the 2nd lever is neutral the pilot from the 1st cabin can retract or lower the landing gear. So, if in the Yak-52 module the 2nd lever is neutral and 1st pilot retracts the gear - they must retract. But if in the 2nd cabin the lever is down, the first one must not work - if you move it up the gear shall stay lowered.
AcroGimp Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 How about the shock loading on the crankshaft?My recollection is that an inspection is only required if the engine was making a certain level of power but since I have not had nor do I intend to have a prop strike I am going from memory when I first got the plane 3 and half years ago. I do know from one of our engine rebuilders that they have not recorded damage to engines that were inspected after prop strikes.
