Hi, everyone, Recently, some of my friends who fly PMDG 737NGX and I encounter the same problem as I mentioned in the title. When getting to the arriving segment. Sometimes, the plane just doesn't reduce speed normally after flaps more than 2 is extended. And the gear cannot be let down normally. However, the gear can be manually extended by pressing and holding the manual gear down keys several times. Even by this way, the gear down, but the plane still cannot reduce its speed, even with the throttle in idle position or engine shutoff. I have met this problem for several times, but not everytime. Other times, it just performs normal, but when I cannot reduce the speed after hitting about 210kts, I know the problem is coming. So frustrated after a long enroute flying when meeting this thing. I don't know if this is an already existed Bug, and if there is anybody who encounters the same problem. Please inform me the method to solve this problem. Thank you. Regards, Jerry -
I've read many forum posts regarding the topic and did not find one that solved the issue. I am using FS2004 with SB4 and WOAI models on VATSIM. The gear is not shown with the aircraft floating above the ground. I am aware that VATSIM does not transmit gear state. That is why I want the gear to be locked down (like in VIP models).I used the SMS generator mentioned here. Those that used the generator should be aware of the FIX_GEAR_DOWN option in the script. This changes the contact points to trick SB into believing the aircraft is fixed gear.However, this does not work for me. Apparently this works in FSX (WOAI users that have FSX can confirm this). The gear is locked down offline, however when flying online the gear remains retracted.Anyone know if I can edit the .air or where the data is transmitted on whether the aircraft has fixed or retractable gear in Squawkbox?
