How do you damage the gear on takeoff?  ;)

Great shots, except there's a piece of the plane missing in the first, just a little bit. Cool plane.

Nice shots of a great aircraft. Is this a version for with mods for FSX? Is the vc glass transparent, or does it have the old FS9 - FSX problem? You use FSX, right? Sorry for the questions... just saying if it is for FSX and has the canopy issues... there is a fix.

Anyways, as for the landing gear... yes, you can damage them. If you exceed a certain speed with them down, it will damage them. They made this aircraft true to the real thing, so you have to really be careful how you fly it. Check the readme and notes on the aircraft. It will explain everything.
My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.

I assumed it had something to do with speed.

these shots are taken with FSX so i dont think there is a canopy issue... i also think maybe i damaged the landing gear on take off by pressing the gear up button too early when it was still on the ground to get that dramatic wheels up after it leaves the ground look.

Ahh, then it must already have the fix with it. thats good. And think... this isnt even a true FSX model. That one is still to be released!

There are a ton of repaints for it already. I must have about 15 or more right now! Have fun... its a great aircraft! Oh, and press Ctrl + L and the landing lights will turn off and retract!

Is it proper to run the ground power cable over the wing? I never would...
