May be because of needed voltage however. /AnMaster -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHWTDsWmK6ng/aMNkRCuxHAKC0MK5tH5HmKGSRaGHX9zlsJcq5rQCfRhJJ DFRlllGsbUZDlUxxw1Y4KBI= =EGeE -END PGP SIGNATURE- - SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

It is one of the only planes that does not crash you if you accidently raise the gear on the ground. It is pretty disappointing to set everything up for a flight and then hit the gear button on the joystick instead of flaps. - SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Something along the lines of having to press the gear down control a second time, once the gear is down... different aircraft will have different types of "lock" and would probably need some kind of customisation anyway. We should really keep to a minimum the number of controls requiring separate bindings - this way, nobody even needs to change their keyboard or joystick bindings (assuming they correctly use the controls.nas wrappers in the first place ;-) Cheers, AJ - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

[Flightgear-devel] landing gear control
Ok I have another one Can we add a /controls/gear/gear-lever-lock to prevent accidental raising gear while on the ground , on aircraft that have this feature ? The key bindings can be over ridden , but there's also joystick configurations to consider , so the best place to add this would be the controls.nas routine itself... It could simply be added as a bool in the set file of any aircraft that needs it ...
