Flaps, gear doors not dropping with zero hydraluc pressure


Recommended Posts

Landing bay doors and flaps rise up when the Merlin starts up and produces hydraulic pressure.

 

So flaps and doors should drop when engine is turned off and hydraulic pressure lost, right?

 

I spawned on RWY, shut off the engine, pulled the red "Landing Gear Fairing Door Emergency Release Handle" and the hydraulic pressure gauge dropped to zero. Then I waited 5 hours to find the flaps and doors still up.

Tested for science. Doors and flaps starts go up as soon as the propeller spins. Ignition off, just the starter engine will do this. Doors go up quickly, flaps much slower.
