The gear extension is a normalized unit, so I thought -norm would have been required. If you want to go without, feel free to change the <control-output> tag in the aircraft files to whatever is the standard property name. > In fact, if the FDM people want to get really clever, they can have > the gear retract and extend slightly out of sync so that they lock > up or down about .5 sec apart. So long as the retraction starts at the same time, you can do this. Find the <control-speed ... time="7"> tags for each gear and change the time values so that they're slightly different. Because they're driven by the same input property, there's no support for starting the gear transitions at different times, though. Andy -- Andrew J.
