"gear down" action

[Guest]

Does anybody know how to get the AI to lower the gear on a plane?

I've tried the plane action ["gear down"], but it doesn't seem to exist. A "flaps down" action does exist and works fine.

I'd be grateful if somebody could shed some light on this.

I'm teaching a neural network how to land a plane in OFP and landing without the gear down is not a pleasent experience.

Hmm, doesn't seem to work...

I'm thinking it will be something like this

pilot action ["Gear", planeName, "DOWN"]

Weird. Anyway, as far as I can tell at the moment, there is no scripting action for that.

As soon as you pick landing autopilot,the plane raises/lowers the gear as needed?

So if your in the air at 300m and you gear is down and turn on autopilot,it raises the gear

And lowers it upon approaching the runway

Why the AI wouldnt do it automatically doesnt make sense

You forced the flaps ...maybe can try to force autolanding?

Autolanding would kind of ruin my program since it's supposed to be a neural net controlled autopilot

How about a switchmove or playmove? There should be some form of animation that can be triggered...

I think he knows that...

plane action ["LAND GEAR"];

Toggles down/up

You would have to add a little boolean gear monitor to it or something, with eventHandlers would be best. That is to make sure you never do the opposite action.

LOL, yeah...

But this may be useful for other ppl.

(there is something about this forum that makes me refresh to see what's going on more often)

Thank you

Ahah I knew there had to be a command.I wasn't saying use autoland,I was just saying maybe trigger it to check the gear, and I was pointing out the fact that AI uses that

Somehow the plane action ["LAND GEAR"]; only raises the gear when it's allready down but I can't get it to make the gear go down.

Any ideas?
