[RESOLVED]CB for Undercarriage Drive Pops Out During TO Roll

[Laobi]

Perhaps (More than likely) a user issue, however, during various take offs I have noticed that the gear failed to operate. On investigation I noticed that the CB for the Undercarriage Drive is mysteriously out, this is in spite of ensuring it was pushed in pre-taxi.

 

 

 

After testing further I discovered that the Anton is doing some sort of sleight of hand on this one, I keep the panel open, release CB, push CB back in (just to ensure it's in), open the throttle, lift off, attempt to raise the gear, nothing...check the CB is in....look away...look back and CB is out...push it in and gear raises. I never see it move, but move it does. I'm hoping it's a bug as I don't know the first thing about performing an exorcism on my PC.

Hi Laobi!

Your not alone, having the same problem with undercarriage CB, take-off landing gear up nothing hapens , push CB ,landing gear up watch the wing indicator ,gear rasing , watch again gear lowering CB out.

Was hoping for a patch today.

Nice day for all!

Hi Mar,

 

 

Thank you very much for confirming. I scanned the manual in case I was accidentally tripping some fail-safe on the drive, but could find nothing. Hopefully next week's patch will sort this one.

 

 

Have a great day.

 

 

Many thanks,

 

Laobi

Probably related to the bug I reported in the thread "CB's for Battery and Generator disconnect after take-off (MP)". And I have also experienced had the CB for the undercarriage drive pop out shortly after take-off and found myself with one gear still down.

Had this happen to me once when I first got the module. Chocked it up to hitting the gear up switch while still on the ground, which popped the CB. Are you sure you're not hitting gear up before you're off the ground?

Negative

Edit: This was a "false negative". I'm actually sure I was well off the ground when I hit the "gear down" switch.

I did some flying today and had the same problem again. I also had the case when I wanted to land, that the gear did not extend.

Even at several thousand feet, the gear will go down and then not go up. I have also had one gear go up and then come right back down. After that, they won’t move.

Is this a separate issue from the undercarriage controls CB bug, where the button appears pressed in but there's no sound or animation for it? Drove me crazy to do the full startup, taxi, and takeoff and then the gear won't come up. However, if you "press" it (even though there's no indication that anything has happened), the gear works fine. I've only seen this in SP, haven't tried MP in the 190 yet.

Gear-CB-Issue

 

Guys,

got the Anton with this Autumn-Sale eventually. Heard of these bugs, especially the gear-bug, but didn´t really think i would be that worse! Tried about 50 takeoffs in a row, mostly crashed, but when i finally got airborne, EVERY time the gear rises halfway and then drops again due to popped off CB! I gave my best to keep the plane below 250km/h and minimize G´s... No chance, i don´t get that bitch working as it should!!!!

Please, if there´s anyout out there that gets then plane airborne with gear staying up, gimme some serious advise...

[iFoxRomeo]

Yes, its possible. After getting airborne, gain some height. Retract the landing gear and monitor the pins/gear indicator on the wings. As soon as the pin is nearly inside the wing, push the nose a bit down till you hear the gear locking up. With some training your initial height for this maneuver will get lower. And stay at or below 250km/h

have realised 2 Takeoffs in a row now... But man, it´s that tough... Coming from the Jets it´s such a change... But now I´m confident I´m gonna get it with enough practice... ;-)

I have no clue what are you doing with plane after t/o, i hadn't any problem with CBs and retracting landing gear. I do it like this(you need good speed to do it gently try accelerate up to 200km/h before trying lift off it will be smooth ride), as soon as i see positive climb i hit gear switch, once gear is up i put flap in to normal flight position that is it, during all of this i put plane in to shallow climb.

I do exactly the same, but still the CB pops 7/10 times.

It really shouldn´t be this weak.

I agree that if You pull some amount of G during retraction that this could happen, but not to the extend we see now.

[Ragnar65]

Well, taking off the Anton is like riding a mustang (not the plane...) to me... ;-)

 

Of course, I know that you have to pull as less G´s as possible and do no wild stickrocking... But with a real moderate takeoff hte CBs pop off most times... I really hope that ED wil fix that soon, now that their beloved Viper is released. I think that all the Anton-buyers have a right to get the module fixed asap...

Last night I devoted some time just to the cb/gear issue and have figured it out. This is with the plane already running. Take off as with any other tail dragger although with this one , after rotation I keep a very shallow climb. Begin throttling back, and once you are settled in and no threat of the plane settling back down or stalling, level off working the throttle to say around that 200 airspeed mark. Raise the gear when iirc you are at or a little above 200 on the airspeed. I did this at least 30x in a row. The airspeed and level are key. After gear up, raise the flaps. Now you can yank and bank.

The guns are documented but I click on the top switch and wait for the red lights. Give it 3 seconds or so then click the one below it. Again after 3-5 seconds you are ready to flip back the stick cover and start blasting away.

Hi all

 

I am just going over reports,

 

I only see the circuit breaker pop if the takeoff is bad, or I get a nasty bounce. With a normal take off all seems fine.

 

If you have a short track showing the CB pop under a normal take off please attach it and we will take a look.

 

We do have over sensitive circuit breakers reported, but I wanted to make sure specific cases were reported.

 

thanks

Hi all

 

We have had a small patch today to address some of the CB issues.

 

thanks
