Landing Gear Won't Retract

Featured Replies

Hello All, For some reason, the gear animation does not work on my Cantu Embraer 120. After I hit "G" or hit the gear lever in the 2-D panel, the gears fail to retract. Does anyone know how I can fix this by editing the CFG? I am posting my CFG in a separate post. If someone can find the problem please let me know how to fix it!Thanks!Dylan

FYI - Brackets CAN be used - but you have to check the little box at the top of the message area which says "Check here if you want to format your message in plain text".Hope that info is helpful in the future.

I am 100% sure that the assignment works, as I can see the lever move when I hit "G". However, the exterior model does not show the gears retracting. Any other ideas anyone?

I would try uninstalling it, and re-installing it.It is also possible that your download misfired - so you might want to download it again.It worked properly for me so that is all I can think of.
