Aerodynamically, yes. The gear is interpolated from all to none over the retract-time specified. But you can't see that in the properties; all you get is the control position. David is right, we need to decide on a set of output properties for the actual surface positions. Yes. kept

Engine data is a little screwy. running jbsim for the c310 no data comes across and for yasim-747 the zeroeth values are missing. Not sure i've got this properties thing all figured out yet. In opengc.cxx data-n1_turbine[0] = fgGetDouble(/engines/engine[0]/n1);
