question

So no suggestion ? Just criticism of the title .. Hmmm ok

I'm afraid there's no way to do this at the moment. Contact points are static and only wheel ones are disabled when the gear is retracted.

Such a request makes sense though so I suggest you create an idea about this to give more details and so people can participate and upvote.

Sylvain .. I am actually quite close to achieving this goal ..
I am Using an Aux Gear contact point and I do Believe it can be "Settable" (according to the SDK Anyway :)

The problem I am having is the gear handle will not change its status
Am I missing something obvious ?

another idea would be to use the new attachmodel can the "ATTACHED" can the attached model have its own contact points ?

Perhaps the attach node can have a visibility parameter therefore when the attached MODEL is visible its contact points also come into play ?

A "Retractable Wing Float" may just do what you want!

Tried it sorry .. Sim doesn't seem to recognise it as a "Contact point"
Maybe I am totally missing things here as the SDK is so hard to understand in parts

i.e. where is the section describing retractable floats ?? :)

EUREKA !
that's one of my issues solved :)

using contact point.9 = 3 ( Aux Gear)
(L:Door_Cargo) (>A:GEAR POSITION:9, enum)
Sending either 0 or 1 to the A:Var "raises or lowers the Gear" on point.9

Hi,

I would say you: thanks for your tip ! and to share your findings.
I am developing a amphibian aircraft (Canso PBY-5A) with retractable wing floats and theses wings floats, which are declared as contact points, cause wakes on the water even when they are folded.
With the possibility to declare them as auxiliary gears, I hope to have a realistic effect when landing.

Thanks.
