It's in FGLGear that the determination is made as to whether the gear is up or down. For aero purposes, there is an intermediate state that is determined by an instance of FGKinemat - an FCS class. Look at the c310 config file. It instantiates an instance of FGKinemat fot he gear. That isntance takes the gear position lever as input (I believe) and calculates gear in-transit position). There should be a belly contact point defined in case the gear is up and ground contact occurs.
