virgo47 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I'm not an everyday flyer with Yak-52, but today (after the yesterday's patch), I tried Yak-52 again and couldn't retract my gear. The reason is, that the gear lever is locked. I know I have some bindings for this in other modules, but I don't seem to have any for this one (checked all my configs for it), because it likely worked auto-unlocking until now... I guess? (Unsure.) Then I started to investigate the bindings for the latch and found this (search for latch): Was there a change related to this? Probably in 2.9.15.9408? That's the latest Release notes with anything about Yak-52: DCS: Yak-52 by Eagle Dynamics Fixed. Wrong brakes behavior via axes Fixed. Bindings for Landing Gear EXTEND and RETRACT not working Fixed. Binding for the Emergency Gear Valve backwards Fixed. Rudder by notch input did not move the rudder, causing a crash instead. Fixed. Elevator Trim Keybindings not working Fixed. Incorrect behavior of AI after takeoff and during landing. But nothing quite fits the description. It seems like the Landing Gear fixes broke something. If it was mentioned as realisme improvement, then it's not described properly. How should it work? L-39, F-4E, F-5E, F-14, F/A-18C, MiG-15, F-86F, AJS-37, C-101, FC2024 Yak-52, P-47, Spitfire, CE2 UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50 III, SA342 NTTR, PG, SY, Chnl, Norm2, Kola, DE Supercarrier, NS430, WWII, CA VKB STECS+Gladiator/Kosmosima+TPR DCS Unscripted YouTube "Favourite" bugs: 1) Object local camera fast/slow inverted, 2) Yak-52 toggles not toggling, 3) all Caucasus ATC bugs
Flappie Posted June 21 Posted June 21 I think the cause is different because these orange lines were reported a few months earlier. If you click on the latch, it will work as expected. A question remains: is the latch new behaviour a bug, or was its use made mandatory on purpose? I'll ask devs about it. 1 1 ---

Ah, good to know about the previous report. I was confused a bit, so I didn't even know what is and what is not the problem. I can't be sure 100%, but I have very systematic binding configs, I track them with Git and also make colourful spreadsheet for them. I didn't see any binding for that lock/unlock in my controls. I'm definitely sure I have to deal with the lever lock in some planes, but again, I'm not sure which they were (probably MiG-15 out the top of my head). But I didn't use this binding before. It works fine after I bound it, so if it's intended to work like this, it's OK. Of course, separate lock/unlock bindings would be nice as well. Maybe it would be nice to have hard-core Gear Up binding where one has to explicitly control the lock and one which would do it automatically. But I'm fine with the hard-core option only as well. (EDIT: I guess this is not necessary, when there is Landing Gear Lever, toggle, which does more or less the same.) I may be wrong (often I am), but I suspect it wasn't needed a few updates ago when I last flew Yak-52. I see a different landing gear bug reported from March, so maybe something was changed around it after all.

But then, perhaps it was a slight error that it was not necessary to do it.

Yeah, I don't really mind... and still, I Might Be Wrong (such a great song BTW), but there was nothing clearly describing this in the changlog, so I rather ask. I adapted already to the new version.
