I see [and hopefully you have too] films of WW2 planes and the gear often raises asymetrically or unevenly.
Minor coding thing with a timer and some randomizer or not?
Somthing this small probably not even worth a cogitation for two but it'd add another level or realism to films and such.

Fuzeman, I was going to wish this, no really I was

Great idea if I must say so myself

Actually, I think it's sorta funny that the F4F had a manual hand-crank to raise/lower gear, and yet in AH raising and lowering the gear gives a mechanical whine.

You can always add a custom sound

I knew that so I posted it first to soak up all the glory for such a wonderful yet overlooked detail.

Yea that is a good request!!!! Also when you flip over you cant raise the gear...maybe this can be fixeD? hell, gravity is even on your side in this case

In TA just now F4U-1 and Spitfire went inverted and was able to raise/retract the gear.

Now this is a GREAT wish.
Sudz!!! Is this possible to do with this game? I always see the gear going up asymetrically in movies and this would be a cool idea to implement.
