reported Landing gear desync in multiplayer

[LtDevRupesh]

Landing gear shows up as down even if you have it up (in multiplayer).

Pictures attached.

Thank you :)

Can triple confirm this is a thing when playing on line.

We had the same issue.

I thought it was just me and my server at first, somewhat glad to see other people experiencing the same thing. Two of my friends and I dd some extensive testing on this today... We thought maybe it was mods or 2D versus VR... But we kept having the issue in multiplayer even after these tests:

-2D and VR tested 
-Clean install of DCS on server (no mods) and removed mods on my gaming rig
-Tested only on Marianas WW2 map, but no mods as said before and no scripts.

An interesting side note: We discovered that when entering a server with players already flying, whatever the gear state is of another client when you join is what you see continually. So, if you join a server and a F4U client has their gear up, it visually stays up regardless if they bring their gear down (and even if they land!). If their gear is down when you join, it remains down visually regardless if they raise it. We tested this on my server and other random servers with same results.

Something else interesting to note... when joining a server with a client with their gear up, when that client lowers their gear what is seen is the main gear DOORS opening, but no gear extension. 

here's a couple screenshots after a client landed that had their gear up when we joined the server.

Aha… I kind of understand why this “bug” exists lol. Me and my friends thought it was desync but think that’s just some mistakes here and there, nothing massive tho but kind of funny looking at that Corsair with gear up on the ground. Thanks for sharing your findings!

Can confirm. Caucasus server with two F4U. First view taxiing, gear down ... stayed down. Second flying F4U, also gear down. Spitfire, gear up. 

Bug or clueless F4U guys? Saw hatch moving when F4U approaching rwy... so it's a bug I surmised.

Kosher install.

I hope we'll have a fix sooner, because, it's confusing in multiplayer.

[Templar560]

Yes three of us have experienced this.

This really shows a big lack in MP beta testing as it is a very easy bug to pick up straight away.

Guys,

Same thing here. I also noticed that doesn't matter what you do from Cold Starts, the gear drag coefficient stays there even if you retract the gear.

Performance online is really handicapped compared to offline.

All the best,

Syd

every single module that gets released, is its initiation, the landing gear desync. always happens on a release.

my concern is the liquefied Center of Gravity Issue when I turn. 

and the one shot engine stop, its a wasp engine I believe they can take out at least 4 or 5 cylinders and still keep flying?

No. We always test in multiplayer with my team mate, and it's the first time we had that with an early access.

Are you sure about that ?

We didn't have that feeling.

There were no Desync issues during testing.  This bug creped up after release.  No way of telling at the very last moment of release.

In any case...it has been reported many days ago.
