Hi,
Every time i fly for like 3 hours, during my landing my gear just isn't coming down. even when i try pumping it manually. there are no green or red lights indicating my gear is down or half way down or something. it's freaking my out because i like to land... :-/

Is this a problem with all aircraft, or just one or two?

Failures on? or it might be the master switch isn't on.

I can think of two reasons the gear won't deploy...
Most likely, you're going too fast. Some planes won't let the gear down if your airspeed is too high.
The other, less likely, is that you started "cold" and never turned the generator/alternator on...and the battery is dead..

Maybe a fs2002 aircraft and the animations don't work?

Have you SEEN the gear down on the ground? Or are you assuming it is down cause the plane taxis normally?
best,

Hi,
I just now was flying a 737 and thought same thing was happening, can't remember if it was because of the masterswitch but de gear came down after i was slowing down...but yesterday i was flying a 747 and i can't remember that the gaer came down after slowing down.... so i'm gonna try that now...

thanks for the help
