Gear extend/retract speed?

[DaveKDEN]

Is it possible to adjust the gear extension/retraction speed in the aircraft.cfg file? If so, what parameter would be adjusted?

Is it possible to adjust the gear extension/retraction speed in the aircraft.cfg file? If so, what parameter would be adjusted?

In the aircraft.cfg under contact points it is the 12th column that governs the extension time see below


point.7= 2, 6.68, 0.00, -2.20, 800, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 4.00
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

The amount of time it takes the landing gear to fully extend under normal conditions (seconds). A value of zero indicates a fixed gear.​

....and 13 controls the retraction time...
