Undercarriage problems on a PA28

[SabenaCaptain]

Hi all,

Having massive problems. I have built a PA28, but somehow flight sim thinks it is a retractable version - it isn't. I need to somehow disable the retractable gear function - does anybody know how to do this? I would appreciate it!

Thanks folks,

Stuart Johnston

Check your aircraft.cfg contact points ... tags nbr 12 and 13 control the extension and retraction time. If these are other than 0.0, you have animated gear.

example with animated gear:
[contact_points]
point.0= 1, -18.0, 0, -3.35, 3200, 0, 0.50,180, 0.25, 2.5, 0.90, 1.0, 4.0, 0, 0, 200


example with fixed gear:
[contact_points]
point.0= 1, -18.0, 0, -3.35, 3200, 0, 0.50,180, 0.25, 2.5, 0.90, 0.0, 0.0, 0, 0, 200

If you don't use stock animation names for your gear parts (i.e. don't use l_gear_xxx etc.) and don't assign a keyframe-animation, they won't export as animated. ;)
