[FIXED INTERNALLY] Wheels spin for ever while gear up

[aldox]

While flying with a friend noticed that the wheels keep spinning forever after take off and after landing the nose wheel didn't seem to move even tho my friend had nose wheel steering on and he was able to turn on his screen

Will upload track of the mission and all the stuff needed later

I always assumed air resistance moved them, I think I’ve noticed that before

It’s a bug, noticed it today myself

I'll check it out and report if needed. Thanks guys.

I believe it might be fixed internally, I only was able to reproduce the nose wheel spinning after take off in OB, none of our internal versions seem to be doing it. I will mark it fixed, but leave this open incase I am mistaken.

Well, the Wheels on the A10 do move freely while retracted, this is intended.

What´s strange is that this also appears on other aircraft  Is this also visible for the pilot or only for other clients ?

At the risk of being pedantic, during landing gear retraction the brakes are applied to stop wheel rotation.

at the risk of being pedantic, during retraction yes but once retracted they aren´t  

Brakes CAN be applied on retracted gear, but they do turn freely unless you hit the brakes.

This is intentional for an emergency landing (and stopping) with gear failure.

Partially correct. The wheels actually cannot move freely in flight. The hydraulic system that raises the gear applies the break on the way up to stop them. Then in the gear well there is a spring loaded brace mechanism that holds them firmly enough to prevent rotation due to aerodynamic drag. That brace is week enough that wheels will still be able to turn freely if the jet lands gear up.

LOL, yes you outpedanticked me (making up a new word there)   I had assumed when you mentioned extended and retracted that you were talking about the transition.

I have to remember this one  

Nice
