Title: My wish..
Post by: Wes14 on July 10, 2007, 12:19:23 PM

I know not every fighter in WWII was able to simultaneously raise or lower both landing gear

i know it might of already of been thought of, but it would be nice to make the planes so that they raised and lowered their landing gear like they did in real life :)

I agree - Would be nice, especially if it's changed without us knowing

What makes you think "that other game" got it right? They might not have gone up at the same speed, but they probably didn't wait until one was all the way up before moving the other. That's just illogical.

actually, the pic i found was right when the down landing gear was starting to go up.

the pic might be a little exaggerated but still, it was close :)

you cant see it from in cockpit, just pretend they are.

or when the raising gear noise finishes, just make your own "neeeeeeeeeeerrrr clunk!" noise to realistically make out that the other wheel has come up.

Actually, a number of planes operated that way back in the day, or at least got one gear most of the way up before raising the second....... just the particular limitations of the hydraulic systems on some planes.  The pressure would work one gear up, then the other.  Not the best way to go about raising or lowering gear as far as aerodynamics go, just a particular engineering limitation and workable solution to the problem.  
For some, it was an indication of problems with the hydraulic system..... they were supposed to come up together, but some fault, or field repair/modification, had them coming up separately or at very different rates.

As the graphics in the game are not that high end, I really don't see the need for this particular detail added in the game.

:)  it would still be cool for the movie aspect, and i think a certain plane in AH already has this,i thought i saw my yak 9t raise the landing gear at different speeds.(or im just really really sleepy) :confused:

i think that the landing gear should go up at different speeds too, so its more realistic FTW
