    I don't think it's always been like this, but recently I've noticed (at least in the Arrow III Turbo) that the landing gear won't extend above 129-130 KIAS. This is close to the max speed for the gear of 133kts, but I didn't think the plane had a mechanism to prevent overspeeding the gear. Is that something that should be happening?

    I don't think it's relevant, but I have auto-gear extension disabled (the 3-way switch near the flap lever is fully aft).

    I can't reproduce that issue here. A new update will be available soon but in the meantime please check that the 'gear_locked_above_speed' value is set to -1 in the flight_model.cfg (within the aircraft folder). That disables the default functionality that limits the gear extension speed.

    @martyn Sorry, I figured it out and forgot I had posted this here.

    I found out that it only happened when I had aircraft damage enabled in assistance (I normally have this disabled but the update reset it).
