Hi all in the forumI am trying to work my way through the tutorial, and the massive learning curve. I have spent nearly 4 hours trying to find out how to stow the gear pins as required by the tutorial and the check lists. I know it needs doing but I cannot find any reference on how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. A searcg revealed nothing on this, so await some help from users that know how.regardsJohn Calleja

John,The Gear Pins are physical pins that that stop the landing gear being accidentally retracted on the ground. If they have not been removed then you won't be able to retract the landing gear once airborne.Stowing the gear pins means making sure they've been pulled out of the landing gear and placed in the cockpit where you can check you've got them all (and they haven't been left in the landing gear!). There is no simulation of this.James

Hi JamesThank you so much for a reply, looking for something that cannot be done has got to be the most difficult thing to solve (wish the tutorial had said "not modelled) So one nightmare over, but feel its going to be a long night when and if I hit tanother snag. best regardsJohn Calleja

John don't forget to install your gear bypass pin to lock your nose wheel for push back. I'am kidding hopefully it isn't modelized. BEN
