    That’s not the gear lever, that’s the red lever between the seats. Fully up is the override for the auto landing gear, middle position is automatic lowering of the landing gear when certain conditions are met, and fully down is for when gear fails, and that position lets the gear drop under its own weight.

      But there is no way to see that from the pilot seat lol, I'd never have found it, never once in this sim have I ever translated the cockpit view to the right. Thanks for the help, now that I moved the camera over to the copilot side, it is visible.

        @sluflyer06 With TrackIR it"s much easier to move your head over and look down :-)

            @sluflyer06 I do that with an iPad. The view in the main monitor will move according to your head movement. OR you can pause TrackIR (program a key press or button press to do that) and the view on the main monitor will stay fixed while you look at the other monitor.

              Have someone found a way to mapp that leaver to a knob on your Honeycomb. That would be good considering it is so inaccessible

                @Seat7A

                It appears to be using LVARS

                LOWER_EMERGENCY_GEAR values of 0,1,2

                  Sorry but it dose not work for me. Have you tried? LOWER_EMERGENCY_GEAR don´t seems to be an MSFS control and as far as I know MSFS doesn't allow LVARS for the moment. I have also tried the MSFS commando
                  GEAR_EMERGENCY_HANDLE_TOGGLE without success.

                    @Seat7A LVAR's absolutely work in MSFS...I have many of the JF Piper controls being bound with LVAR's (batteyr, alternator, fuel pump, the lighting) I also use LVAR's on the AT Simulation Piaggio to control some of the items.

                    I can try that switch for you later today, specifically, but LVAR's for sure work just fine.

                        I'll see if I can do that. I haven't tried to just list them all out. Are there specific buttons/switches you need?

                          @sluflyer06 I'd like to validate the lights status (on/off) in order to sync the switch panel position to the respective game switch, also have some control over the friction switch, radio/nav buttons, COM1/2 switch, TAS switch. I have hw which has over 20 switches/buttons I can setup to control the airplane features, most of them have nothing assigned to for now.

                            @anderson here is the answer I got from JF support asking for LVar
                            "You can find all the Lvars in the sim by turning on developer mode and from the drop down menu selecting "Model Behaviour Debug" and clicking on "Local Variables".From there you can search for any Lvar in the aircraft"
