Durkin Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 I have been going through and setting up my control bindings and for some reason I cannot get the gear lever to work. I have the lever bound to Landing Gear Extending to JOY_BTN42 Landing Gear Retraction to JOY_BTN41 These buttons are triggered when I move the lever up or down. Of course G on the keyboard works. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong to make the lever work? When I move it in the control settings I see it high light the correct option. Thank you
peachmonkey Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 you need assign one more button to flip the gear button "cover". Or click on it with a mouse so it flips open, then you can use the buttons to extend/retract. G button performs the gear cover flip automatically, hence the confusion..
Gadreel Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Yes, I had the same Problem. Later I often forgot to use the flip cover and was flying some time with gear down
Durkin Posted January 21, 2022 Author Posted January 21, 2022 Ok added a button for the cover and now it works. Before I start another thread any help with the canopy? I have a button for open and close and they do not work/ Yes I am holding them and nothing happens.
LeCuvier Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) I've had the Dora since it became available, I have never had an issue with these two commands, and they are working now. I cannot imagine why these very straightforward commands wouldn't work for you. Are the keyboard commands Ctrl + G and LShift + G working? Edit: Obviously you cannot close the canopy when you have taken off with the canopy open and you have exceeded 350 km/h.

Durkin Posted January 24, 2022 Author Posted January 24, 2022 I got the gear working once I added the command for the cover. Also the canopy is working and you are right I was trying to open and close it at to high of speed. Works fine on the ground. I now have most of the controls I need for now and will add more as I learn what I'm missing that I need. I have a few WW2 planes and I have been setting up my Virpil controls for them and putting labels on them so I use the same button for the same options in each plane. So far it is working out well. We will see what happens when I add the F16 and A10 into the mix or a helicopter.
