gear door reported Irrealistic air speed extended landing gear

There is a lot of publicly available information that would suggest that the F-16C Block 50 has experienced problems with the LG, wear and tera, actuator and locking mechanism mishaps, sufficient information in my opinion to warrant some form of damage modeling in DCS.  This Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBvUzRdHjIQ) video mentions problems with LG after performing a go around (gear down, then gear up, then gear down again)
I have asked Bogey Dope to comment.

You don't need a track for this just jump in hit the burner and lower the gear. I expected some type of damage, door breaking off, gear half extended or stuck, but you can raise and lower it just fine, even in excess of 600 knots.

Answered before. Quite easy to find when one searches.

That's not an answer to be fair, more of an excuse when the manual calls out a max speed of 300 knots whit gear extended. At any rate thanks for the response.

The only plane I saw that there is damage to the landing gear due to the speed is Mirage F1 and I thought that is norm for the rest but beside noise and drag there was no issue with the system what's so ever.
