As much as I have tried some of the Russian fighter aircrafts (Su 27, Mig 29) they all allow executing GearUp command while still on the ground, there just isn`t anything to prevent this from happening. So gears go up and aircraft smashes to the ground. Mission over!

Is this really how is it in real life? I seriously doubt!

And I suppose all aircrafts have this same issue. Its kinda bothering, since I have mapped just a single button for GearUp and GearDown. Can it be fixed please?

No, not all airplanes have this 'issue'. Which one are you talking about?

 

Btw, it's way better to have it retract on ground on the apron or on the taxiway at nil or low speed, than at high speed during the takeoff run ;)

 

If you accidently select the gear up on ground, it will IRL retract as soon as the airplane weight on wheel switches sense that you are airborne.

But in can happen of course that the WoW switches only temporarily open due to runway roughness etc. This has lead to numerous accidents IRL.

 

 

Nothing to fix IMO since this can happen IRL as well due to faulty WoW switches etc. You simply don't move the gear lever on ground.

 

edit: just tested with the A-10C and the F-5E, and on both planes you can't move the landing gear lever on ground without pushing the override button first, and even in this case the gear doesn't retract on the A-10.

See if it is still the same as it was 5 years ago.

As said, Mig 29 (all versions) and Su-27.

No, its not quite the same any more. Gears go up, plane down, but when trying to extract them (down), they do not go (or just until they touch the ground), but you surely not able to drive, not take off.

Yes

The Accident Investigation Board (AIB) President found by a preponderance of the evidence that

the causes of the mishap were two procedural errors by the Mishap Pilot (MP). First, the MP had incorrect

Takeoff and Landing Data (TOLD) for the conditions at NAS Fallon on the day of the mishap, and

more importantly, he failed to apply any corrections to the incorrect TOLD. Second, the MP

prematurely retracted the LG at an airspeed that was insufficient for the MA to maintain flight.

Additionally, the AIB President found by the preponderance of the evidence that four additional

factors substantially contributed to the mishap: inadequate flight brief, organizational acceptance

of an incorrect technique, formal training, and organizational overconfidence in equipment.

Yes, you can still do the same as in those videos (in game).

 

 

No, you can't raise the gear with full load on the legs in real life, whilst in operational condition.
