Either way, one of our planned features is to allow pilots to control the deploy/retract state of the landing gear themselves manually and represent that on the HUD.  This should fix the issue.

This is a sexy feature especially for the Shiva. No more wings getting stuck out when you slow down!

I'd hope wing's stay on auto swing, its what they're supposed to do.

On the bug side of things, I somehow managed to land a sulla while all my team mates were getting eaten by the runway AA. There were several of us in ASF on Huntress - TSA Mirage.



I got out and looked around, as I was doing it I watched everyone else trying to land die as they clipped into the ground. Then my Sulla bounced free and people started landing again. A little while later I died while my wing man managed to land just after me.




Gear is definitely down during landing, you can see the shadow on approach to that strip.

I kind of wish you airplane guys would just explode every time you tried to land.

I hate Aircraft in this game, if I die from one, I leave.  I wish I could just fire back at them from a Mech.

You wound me!


May I present exhibit B:



More clearly shows that, yes, the gear is in fact down on landing. Got in, played with the controls a bit, left right yaw power up/down etc. and it bounced free.



My landing approach was from the side strip you see in the right of the pics. Speed was ~120 kph.

One word. Landing gears, all over the plane, all the time.

Ok, so that's like 9 words and 3 punctuations.

Redundancy, just like we need in landing gears.
