[Flightgear-devel] C310 Gear Retraction
I'm having no problem retracting the C310 gear in flight, using yesterday's CVS version of everything. It's possible that there's a problem in some builds, but it's equally possible that people are letting the plane settle back onto the ground after retracting gear. Try waiting for a higher altitude first, and see if the problem still occurs.

I'm having no problem running with the c310, started the engines, full throttle, raised the gear as soon as the altimiter needle started to increase. Everything seemed good there. With respect to the c310 flight model math blowing up when you nose over into a dive: If I have the blue levers pushed all the way in (low gear) this happens very reliably. Push the nose over into a dive and in a few seconds everything blows up. But, if I have the blue levers pulled out a bit, I can dive all day long and things stay well behaved. So, this would lead me to suspect something in the constant speed prop code is screwing up at a boundary condition.

To confirm, it may be worth substituting the c172 prop (prop75in2f, I think) to confirm this. That assumes, of course, that you'll be able to get off the ground ...

Erik: how high is your altitude AGL before you retract?

Does the problem occur as soon as the gear are retracted?
