Took out the Freemium 757 with the new free AA texture for its maiden flight and all was not well. Right after take off I knew I had an issue, my left MLG was indicating green after retraction. I cycled the gear again and no dice. I switched to external and noticed the strut was compacted and it was stuck. I wish they had modeled emergency slides that would have been awesome. This is start to finish after burning off some fuel and "landing" when the gear failed.

Second flight went much smoother Wink

Thanks for looking

Cool. I didn't know the JF 757 had realistic failures........maybe have to retry this one (I'm not usually a tube flyer). Great shots, Mfaulisi. The first one is stunning.....and the malfunctioning gear adds to the mood of the shot. Well done Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
