How do you (as in myself) disable theretracting gear?

[simonu]

It is a matter of opening the aircraft.cfg

Look for the contact points section ( This example is annotated, yours might look different)


[contact_points]
//0 Class
//1 Longitudinal Position (feet)
//2 Lateral Position (feet)
//3 Vertical Position (feet)
//4 Impact Damage Threshold (Feet Per Minute)
//5 Brake Map (0=None, 1=Left, 2=Right)
//6 Wheel Radius (feet)
//7 Steer Angle (degrees)
//8 Static Compression (feet) (0 if rigid)
//9 Max/Static Compression Ratio
//10 Damping Ratio (0=Undamped, 1=Critically Damped)
//11 Extension Time (seconds)
//12 Retraction Time (seconds)
//13 Sound Type
//14 Airspeed limit for retraction (KIAS)
//15 Airspeed that gear gets damage at (KIAS)
//GEAR
point.0 = 1, 0.82, 0.00, -3.96, 1600, 0, 0.633, 40, 0.42, 2.5, 0.90, 3.0, 3.0, 0, 152, 180
point.1 = 1, -8.04, -4.79, -3.96, 1600, 1, 0.886, 0, 0.50, 2.5, 0.85, 4.1, 4.3, 2, 152, 200
point.2 = 1, -8.04, 4.79, -3.96, 1600, 2, 0.886, 0, 0.50, 2.5, 0.85, 4.3, 4.1, 3, 152, 200
//SCRAPES
point.3= 2, -6.20,-18.91, 0.50, 800, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5, 0, 0
point.4= 2, -6.20, 18.91, 0.50, 800, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 6, 0, 0
point.5= 2,-24.04, 0.00, -0.50, 800, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 9, 0, 0
point.6= 2, 0.40, 0.00, -1.24, 800, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 4, 0, 0

Set the extention and retraction times to 0 and the retracting gear will be disabled, Now please tell me why you wish to do this?

I was thinking about making the FDG2 F4F-3S a true floatplane fighter.

Ah yes, you posted another thread.
Hopefully you will be able to sort it out.

I already did it. Just waiting some details to upload it...
