After my hard drive crashed, this was my first flight with a Project Opensky 777-300ER. All was going well until my landing gear fell off.

No, really. I couldn't capture any pictures of the gear falling, but they did descend. Now I'm worried that I'll crash when I try to land. Is this just a bug within the model, and do I have to worry about crashing?

I HATE it when it does that!

No clue what the problem is, but that line just seems to fit there so perfectly....

That Gear problem is due, to the Fact, that that particular Landing Gear was Sub-Contracted out to a Chineese company, who cut corners, and fabricated the Landing Gear out of cheap sub standard Plastic !

Why Yo' Gear thingy's broke & fell off !

Theres a Recall on those

Thought you should know , ya no ~

Sincerely, Captain - Have No Gear !

More info required. If you tell us the file name & the page it's posted on someone can check it out for you. A link to the page would be a great help.

As you've just reinstalled FSX did you also install Acceleration or the official SP1 & SP2 updates?

It seems to me you gotta watch where you parked these days.

Or the pilot may have had to remove the wheel for some reason.

If your "Gear" falls off.....

.....do you become a Eunuch?.... ....!

Paul.... ...!

If your "gear" falls off you may or may not be classed as a eunnuch, but you would be the purrrfect guard for a woman's prison!

Update: All of my 777-200ERs are doing the same thing. I can't upload any screengrabs now (SimV isn't letting me- file sizes are too large), but it's common to all 777s. I downloaded the files from poskyarchive.com. I did install Acceleration. I will double check that all of the xml files are in place.

I can't see a 777-200ER here. http://poskyarchive.com/category/boeing/b777-200/ Which package are you having problems with?

If the file size of your shots is too big you will have to reduce the size before uploading them. Most graphics editors will do it.

I suspect it's due to you not having FSX Acelleration -- or the SP1 / 2 installed in the standard FSX.

Like Hagar says -- which file is it? If it's from simviation it's unlikely to have a problem.

I guess now we all have to watch out for a tire now laying on a runway or taxi way somewhere.
