Adjusting landing gear extension/retraction?

[airattackimages]

I think I remember that this could be adjusted in the cfg, right or wrong?

I'm trying to adjust the gear transitions on my Area 51 Sim C-5M. The correct gear transition time (up or down) is approximately 13 seconds by the USAF/Lockheed maintenance manual.

The A51 C-5 transitions in about 3 seconds. It's a little bit off. :icon_lol:

I'd like to fix that to what it should be. Anyone? :) Thanks.

it's in the aircraft cfg under the [contact points] section

>>> each column of a contact point does something

[contact_points]
//0 Class 0-none 1-wheel 2-scrape point 3-skid 4-float 5-water rudder
//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/Water Rudder Effectiveness (0=Undamped,1=Critically Damped)/1.0=normal
//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)

point.0 = 1, 12.4, 0.00, -6.7, 5600, 0, 0.52, 70, 0.42, 0.9, 0.90, 5.0, 5.0, 0, 0, 0

Thank you sir! I'll take a look at it with the guidelines you posted. Much appreciated!

Thanks! Changed it all up. Default was set to 5 for all the gear, nose and main. I changed it to 9 seconds for the nose and 13 for the mains. Thanks for the help!


Here's a quick video of the change. First clip is the lightning fast version from A51, second clip is my change. Click over to 1080 for best detail. :)
