Repeat Gear Problem

Featured Replies

Well, this is the second time that an airplane I was flying when the gear would not extend.  The first airplane was the Lancair Legacy and then the Beach 55.  I cannot figure out why it will not extend.  Both airplanes were fine for a long time now all of a sudden it will not extend and has rendered both airplanes useless.  I have tried everything short of deleting them and reinstalling them.  Don't know if it's a problem with my system or what.  Really frustrating.

Did you try extending them from within the virtual cockpit?  if that works then there is a button problem, sometimes when you do an FSX repair or something else the shortcuts to your Joystick get deleted making that some buttons don't work anymore and maybe the "G" did get another function by some add on you recently installed, check FSX controls buttons assignments.

Just wanted to say thanks Herman, your suggestion worked.  I've been going crazy trying to figure this problem out.  Thanks for the help.  Much appreciated.
