P51 Civillian Flaps & Landing Gear

Post by [email protected] »

The Flaps & Landing Gear do not deploy or retract. The levers move in the cockpit when I click button assigned and key on keyboard assigned but the gear and flaps do not move. How can I fix that.

Thanks

Hello,

What reading is the hydraulic pressure gauge showing? My money would be on it reading '0' because the red 'T'-shaped handle next to the fuel selector is still pulled out. If so try pushing this lever in: when pulled out it releases the pressure in the hydraulic system.

Thanks,
Nick

P.S. I'll also move this topic to the P-51 sub-forum rather than the Cessna 182 one. :wink:

Thanks, that worked. I can’t believe how real this plane is.
Thanks again for your help

You're welcome. :) Just for info, I understand the hydraulic system is depressurised in this way when the aircraft is left standing, otherwise there's a risk of the hydraulic fluid warming and expending on a hot day and leaking at hose connections.

Cheers,
Nick
