Gear Retration Speed

[superheat01]

Hi everyone hope you all have a great 4th, I have a problem im sure some of you have noticed and have wanted or have changed. I have the Alpha simulation planes C-5, F-105, F-111, B-2, B-1, C-141 and iv'e noticed especially on the C-5 and the F-111 that the landing gear retracts way too fast for these planes the gear on the C-5 should take at least 12 seconds to go up, anyway i would like to see if anyone can help me find the lines for changing the spees of the gear going up and down so i can make my planes look more realistic when taking off and not look like some model airplane where the wheels flip up in one second, also does Alpha have a free version of the B-58 or F-117 out yet? if not does anyone? thanks alot for any info you can supply me, have a great day.

Hi superheat.
Navigate toy your ...Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft\NameOf your Acft., find your "aircraft.cfg" file and open it in your Notepad, or similar word processor. What you are looking for is 12Th position, after the = sign, that you want to modify. TV
