ATR42/72 Main Landing Gears become "unlocked" after landing

Closed the doors and, as you mentioned, I was able to insert data into FMS again. But the confirmation prompt on the performance page was still not working. =(

Any news on that gear issue? Itā€™s been like 2 months, it makes that plane basically a no go for meā€¦

During the January livestream they said that next update will be may, so do not expect an update before may

Without a known walkaround thats ridicolousā€¦

It really is. I bet it is the reason for why it often doesnā€™t want to end the flight either without slewing as slewing kinda restores the gear for a short time.

So, any news from the devs?
This problem is reported for almost half a year - any news for a bugfix?

The only partial workaround Iā€™ve found is to connect both GPUs (so ACW as well) before shutting down the engines. For whatever reason that makes the awful noise stop at least.

Iā€™ve more miffed that I cant restart the engines! But thatā€™s another bug for another thread.

The bug is due to the gear not locking properly, so turning on AC GPU will work around it since AC power will keep the hydraulic pumps operating and will keep the pressure up.

For the engine restart, itā€™s really a bug according to where you are, some parking areas at many airports do not have ground GPUs, so when you enable it you just use more power out of your battery (bringing it down)

Next livestream is this week, we should take the occasion to ask them a question about it :slight_smile:

Has anyone solved the landing gear problem? mine still has the bug

Yes, Iā€™ve solved the problemā€¦ Donā€™t use the ATR on the sim :rofl:

Still there. Still goes away with both GPU connected.

Aircraft have yet to be updated since last update, but we know that they are working on it as per last dev stream

okay!! thank you

Good to know theyā€™re working on it, thank you!

I wish they would make smaller updates to fix urgent issues such as this one. I wonder if their contract with the dev is per update or something?

Yesterday , was testing and turned engines off while still on the runway and guess what!!! Wheels did not sink into ground and stopped normally!!! Really strange, seems that on runways it does not happen.

I really hope we get a decent update in September because this airplane is fantastic to fly, but the bugs are just out of control. You canā€™t steer with only one engine running, restarting the engine after a flight doesnā€™t work, and the flight management console is as buggy as can beā€”it doesnā€™t correctly import the weight from SIMBRIEF. Plus, thereā€™s that weird, persistent noise when you shut down engine two, even after turning off the battery and disconnecting everything. Itā€™s wild, but I guess thatā€™s what you get for $16 on sale!
