Fi-56 fixed landing gear retraction
« on: October 23, 2021, 09:51:07 PM »
While flying an Fi-56 I am able to retract the landing gear when using my controller with the "gear up" function/button but it will not retract the gear with the "G" key on the keyboard. It will only do it with the "gear up" assignment of a button. I can record it happening if need be.

Yeah, I would very much like to see you retracting that fixed gear  :eek:

I had been flying a WWI plane and think I hit the gear button and heard the retracting gear sound.  I can't remember now if the gear actually raised or not. 

That might be a good tactic in a WWI KOH to get a cleaner drag advantage. ;)
Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

*glances in the general direction of the Stuka* Hmm....  :headscratch:

Flight testing might be in order.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.
