Landing gears on helicopters
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I have noticed that the landing gears are automatic on the AH-99 Blackfoot (Comanche) and the Ghosthawk helicopters. I was wondering what happened to the action for raising and lowering the landing gears manually. The automatic landing gears are problematic when they lower on their own during a low hover in combat. I know stealth isn't modeled in ArmA, but in the real world, a pilot would not lower the landing gear while masking behind terrain in preparation for an attack. It's am immersion breaker, and this is especially true since we are talking about stealthy aircraft. Open gear doors don't lend to stealth or believability in this case.

It would be nice to have an option in the action menu to raise and lower the gears like in other aircraft in previous ArmA titles.
