How to setup the landing gear

[n452mk]

Hello guys, I have all my settings and throttles setup but I cannot figure out how to set the landing gear, so far I can only do gear down but not up, I have a 2 saitek quadrant and one of them I use it for the throttles and the second one for flaps, spoilers and gear, I been able to setup down but not go up after takeoff, can anyone help please? thanks.

Hi,

 

You could define two axis ranges. One in the upper range (e.g. 8000 .. 16383) firing the "GEAR UP" control when entering, and one in the lower range (e.g. -16384 .. -8000) firing the "GEAR DOWN" control when entering this range. You have to use the right side of the dialog box in the axis assignment.

Using an axis for gear-up/gear-down is also the example in the FSUIPC user manual, page 37.

Many add-on aircraft, PMDG especially, ignore or even re-purpose many of the P3D controls and also use their own. For PMDG aircraft, please see this FAQ article:
