PMDG 737-700 Landing gear animation not working


Recommended Posts

Hi Fabio

Just tried recording a flight using version 5.0.2409.13. with MSFS

Running prog as admin, admin rights set on default folder (no error message when setting folder).

Flaps and spoilers working OK, but landing gear not functioning. Plane lands without gear showing! Rest of recording OK

Any suggestions?

Regards

Dave Nash

Edit - Not sure if this is relevant or just a coincidence, time will tell, but it might help.

My MSFS "Community" folder and "Official" folder are on a separate drive under a parent folder named "MSFS". I have already taken ownership of the drive, so no issue there, but I also modified the attributes of all the files under the "MSFS" folder to ensure that any files which might have read only status were cleared. I did this by clearing the read only check box for the MSFS folder and applying to that folder, subfolders and files. (Note that on completion Windows 11 will still mark the read only check box under properties as filled in blue. This is true of any folder, but the file attributes will have been altered.)

I then tried recording and re-playing the same flight again, and this time the Landing Gear animation worked perfectly!

Whether this is a coincidence or a fix for my problem, only time will tell, but if you have any theories Fabio I'd love to hear them!

Good Luck with FCR.

Sadly, this problem seems completely random, and whether the landing gear animation works or doesn't work seems to have more to do with switching cameras or the time of day. Back to the drawing board I'm afraid.

Regards
