Landing Gear retracting by itself

1st Official Post

    I've just taken a few flights in the King Air and the Gulfstream where the landing gear decided to retract itself as I was trying to land. At first I thought that I had somehow touched the mouse buttons by mistake as I was setting up my approach, so I redeployed the gear; but then they suddenly retracted again just as I was touching down. I checked over everything on my control setup, and can't find anything that should cause this to happen.

    Anybody else out there experience this same thing? If so, what did you do to correct it.

    Do you have assistance options on in the game menu?

    Just to test things, I activated the flight assistance for the gear and the same failure occurred. This time the gear dropped, by itself, as would be expected as I entered final approach; but just as I touched down it retracted all by itself!

    It would be a very strange 'assistance' which does excatly the opposite than to assist you. Maybe a double binding (if that's possible).

    E.g. brakes and gear, because it happened after touchdown?

    dpf4052 Do you have any joysticks, gamepads, throttles or rudder pedals connected? If so, how do the mappings for every single device look like regarding gear?

    What Aerofly FS version are you using, what operating system and what controllers do you use to fly?

    We have no Gulfstream in the sim, so I assume you mean the Learjet 45?

    Please go to the control assignment section and remove all assignments for the landing gear. Does this fix the issue?
