GEAR EMERGENCY EXTEND UNCOMMANDED

[VFA41_Hedgehog]

[EDIT: F/A-18C Hornet]

Here's a new behavior...  Suddenly get a gear warning in flight...  Winwing PTO panel red lollipop flashing and gear alarm sounding, still in the retracted position.  I look in the cockpit and the gear handle is in the 90-degree rotated Emergency Extend position.  And gear is indeed extended.

I checked control bindings.  I have absolutely nothing...  no keystrokes, nothing...  bound to any of the Gear Emergency Extend or Retract commands.

The only way to possibly command this would be to point the mouse cursor at the gear handle and roll the mouse wheel, which I did NOT do.

What else could possibly cause this behavior?

uhmmmmm.... what?...
The FF F-15C has been released? How long was I asleep for?

Is either you've got exclusive access to a module that's not released or you're using mods for the Flaming Cliffs one to be talking about mouse pointer and mouse wheel stuff.

If it is the later. Remove the mod.
If it is the former: congrats man. Let us know how the module is.  

BTW, this is the forum section for the Flaming Cliffs stuff, but if you're using a clickable cockpit mod, that's unsupported:

Post moved, thanks

Yeah, sorry, initially posted in the wrong area somehow.  This is about F/A-18C Hornet.

Hey Hedgehog, it happens. These tiny aircraft names on the forum can get confusing for anyone, especially their being so similar. Sorry for assuming it was for Flaming Cliffs, its been ages I haven't visited the Eagle on that module.

This could possibly be an accidental mouse wheel action when the cursor is coincidentally over the lever in game.

Very hard to tell from this perspective. I've flow with this bird the most and that never happened, in other hand a few of little accidents with mouse being in an unfortunate place and a click or scroll is made unknowingly.

If it happens again, a track would be the most valuable tool to figure it out.

I have merged the threads. 

I am not seeing any issue on my end. 

could you double check your bindings for doubles, check your scripts also. 

thank you

Right.  It's my first week in the F-15 Hornet, so I'm still trying to figure some things out.  Haven't found the mixture control yet, which might be the problem.

Mixture?
Better do like Czar says. When it happens, exit the mission, press the "Save Track" button on the next screen. Give the file a relevant name, and just drag and drop the file here.
Cheers!

The mixture control in a Hornet is the big lever on the left-hand side. For some obscure reason, jet-jockeys call it a 'throttle'.

Aha! The dual lever one?
