February 26, 201610 yr Is there a way to totally get rid of this failure of the Landing Gear not retracting despite using FS2Crew and the FO checklisting that the 'pins are stowed'? After all, a bit pointless when the FO has called 'pins stowed' and the landing gear will not retract. This PRO version is beginning to seriously irritate with its random failures. Anyone know how to get rid of 'Failures' in the PRO version? Rick Almeida
February 27, 201610 yr Are the gear pins removed and in the bag since never had a failure as of yet, only had the gear wouldn't retract once since I didn't physically check the gear pins were stowed although my fo said he had removed them You have to make sure that the gear pins are stowed by looking if they are in the bag and you can see the flags hanging out I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg
February 27, 201610 yr Author If that is the bag right low at the bottom behind the FO's seat, with read tapes/flags hanging off, yes, I see them, and I also opted to Stow in the Gear Pins LSK in Services from the FMS. And still it would not retract. This is the PRO version. Rick Almeida
November 7, 20178 yr I believe the engines have to be off and the doors open before you can stow the pins. Also check the front wheel gear to make sure you don't see the pin with the red flag. Someone correct me if I'm out of line here.

This is the PRO version of the Q400 with which there are certain responsibilities the PIC must adhere to (the checklist is your friend). The gear inop feature is not a failure of systems, but more so a failure of the PIC to adhere to the checklist. A simple visual check behind the FO's seat before starting the engines for the gear pins in the SITU bag will confirm if the pins are in the bag or not. One can easily click on the bag to have the pins installed or removed if you care not to mess with the FMS.

March 26, 20188 yr It happens to me to. not always but often.. to much. 100% sure gear pins are in the bag. Gear not retracting. is a pain in the neck.

I had this also but luckily this can easily be solved by editing the cold and dark script which can be found in the Q400 script folder. Just add this line to the cold&dark script (below the last entry that shows COPY: COPY #FlightControls_->gearPinsInstalled 0 ; stow gear pins Be sure there are two tabs before COPY! This will stow the pins automatically every time you load the plane with the cold and dark state. Problem solved. Of course this also eliminate the need to ever check or stow the pins but I am very fine with that. Nothing sucks more than taking off only to discover the gear won't go up. Again. Luckily this is the ONLY 'problem' I have with the Majestic Q400: other than this it is the best addon aircraft ever created imho.
