Nealius Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 The manual doesn't touch on it beyond mentioning the gear lever in the rear seat should be set to neutral so that the gear lever in the front seat actually works. I'm really confused by the concept as every (virtual) airframe I've flown simply has 'up' and 'down.'
Emmy Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 Pretty sure it's intended to negate use from the other cockpit... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com
Nealius Posted August 8, 2018 Author Posted August 8, 2018 So if the front seat is in Neutral, then the rear seat can use the lever, and if the rear seat is in Neutral then the front seat can use it?
Anatoli-Kagari9 Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 So if the front seat is in Neutral, then the rear seat can use the lever, and if the rear seat is in Neutral then the front seat can use it? I think it should be meant to depressurize the associated Hyd sys... Flight Simulation is the Virtual Materialization of a Dream...

In that case you would need to install a hydraulic system in the first place ;) It's essential to have the landing gear lever in the aft cockpit in the neutral position if it isn't occupied, since you need both levers in neutral to be able to do an emergency gear extension.

fjacobsen Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 Gear and flaps movement is done with airpressure. Once the flaps and/or gear has been moved, there is no need to keep pressurating the actuators. At the same time that would also negate the the control of them from the other cockpit.. | i7-10700K 3.8-5.1Ghz | 64GB RAM | RTX 4070 12GB | 1x1TB M.2. NVMe SSD | 1x2TB M.2.

Ok, then, not Hyd. but rather Pneum. and it releases the system from an useless effort... My thought wasn't totaly wrong after all :-) Flight Simulation is the Virtual Materialization of a Dream...
Quadg Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 does it have a compressor or is it like the mig21 and uses stored pressure in bottles? if you forgot to put it in neutral do you run out of air pressure in the pneumatic system? always fun landing with no brakes and no drag chute. because you forgot to put it back in neutral.

IvanK Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 It has a compressor that can recharge the Main Pneumatic system. The neutral position depressurizes the associated control. The neutral position also effectively allows the other cockpit to control the associated valves ... Dont F it up though a number of Yak52 wheels ups have involved a couple of pilots playing in Yak dragon world and getting out of Synch with who is doing what.
