[MISSING TRACK FILE] Landing Gear Issue?

[Wolf359]

Is it just me, or is the landing gear VERY slow when transitioning?? It gets stuck on take off - front wheel up fine, but the back pair get stuck due to air speed. I have to reduce speed to get them up. When landing, they are slow to lower. Did something get changed to be more realistic, or is this buggy?

At what speed are you having to slow down from in order to get the mains to retract?  I haven't had or seen any issues where the gear is slow to retract.

Zero issues retracting my gear. You may be overspeeding them.

Anything over 300kn is overspeed, so if you're in a light jet you can very quickly exceed that if you keep it in blower. You may need to throttle back or climb to stay under that speed.

Be careful. Do not thrust what you see in cockpit, the landing gear handle (the lollipop) is bugged (or let simply say: has a wrong behavior)

I'm definitely overspeeding. I will try out tonight with slower takeoff - or at least note what speed I'm at when the issue occurs. Thanks, gents!

Update: I tested the theory out a few minutes ago. My speed was around 256 knots and the back gear stuck again. I am going to save a track to watch, to be sure I am not trying to raise them too early. Even though the front is lifted, the back may not be. Keep you updated.

256 knots sounds kinda fast for the gear... I'm not sure what they are speed rated for though

One thing to check is to not be pulling the gear up with WOW.

Gear Limiting Speed on the Viper is 300kn btw.

This didn't happen before, during when I last flew the Viper. It seems that the issue is overspeed. I thought it might be a glitch related to a mod livery, so I changed skins to the default. I lowered the starting fuel to half. Took off with AB, brought gear up just over 255kph, and they stuck. Took off at mil power, and they raised just fine...hence taking more time to reach higher speeds. But it just seems strange that if I use AB at takeoff I must immediately cut back the throttle just to raise the gear.

 

So my question is: Is this normal block 50 Viper behavior, or is this a bug I need to report?

 

Thanx

Upload a track, maybe you're doing something wrong on takeoff. From there we can determine whether it is a bug or user. FWIW I don't have any slow gear transitions, or stuck gear.

Personally not seeing anything speed related, but then i'm retracting the gear at <200kts once i'm safely climbing away. Lowering seems fine <300kts too.
