Small detail missing

  • Just noticed that in the 737 (-500, -800 and 900ER) and 747-400, the landing gear lever can’t be set to the OFF position after retraction. It’s a small detail, but it adds to the immersion and realism—especially for those familiar with Boeing procedures. Would be a nice touch in a future update.

    Most customers expect the gear to toggle between up and down. And even Boeing decided to get rid of this Off position in their newer aircraft.

    I guess I could animate the lever so that it automatically goes to the off position after 10 seconds or so.

    It could also be linked to an existing assistance option, or have a toggle in the settings. That way, users who prefer full realism could manually move the gear lever to the OFF position for added immersion. Keeping it optional would satisfy both casual and more serious users!
