Mcm confirmed: landing gear retracts automatically depending on speed.

[tauciux]

Stupid idea. So if I want to land on water safely ( low speed ) so I must land with landing gear down?????!

[AssassinsMassCasue]

how is it stupid? Just Cause isn't really about realistic reactions. It's about fun reactions. In all likelihood, you can land on the water (if at all) with your landing gear down.

[antonio13]

how are you going to land on water? I dont think there are any water planes or whatever you call them

[tauciux]

Maybe. But it's better than jc1 there landing gear is always down.

[nismo280zx]

Ummm who lands a plane, without floats, on the water. Planes with normal landing gears tend not to land safely on water that's why runways tend to be on land, well besides aircraft carriers

[matonking]

well if its dependent on speed then thats not as bad as if it was altitude dependent

[NEREVAR117]

If it depends on speed then you can land safely. =/

[tauciux]

Yeah . but it would be better if it is possible to manually retract landing gear.

[nismo280zx]

Jc1 let you manually retract on the pc version, but on consoles they tend to run out of buttons to use

[matonking]

a plane can land on water relitavely safely if the landing gear is retracted...

...
Are you serious!?

[tauciux]

I think that they must include manually retractable gear in one of PC JC2 patches.

[nismo280zx]

Lol "relatively safely". That cracks me up, they don't call that landing, it's still called crashing. It's not like your gonna take off again, and well they have to come in nose up to survive, but i'm thinking I'll stick to my parachute

bull ****, when entering or exiting a vehicle the botton lay out changes automaticaly.

so your telling me with a total of 16 bottons on a ps3 controller.

2 used for accelerating/reversing
1 used for hand break
1 used for entering or exiting
1 used for steering
1 used for camera view
1 used for stunt position

thats 7/16 bottons used up.

[Apocalyptic Fish]

Ages ago I heard that it was distance from the ground that would determine the state of landing gear, oh well, speed is a good factor for me :)

[nismo280zx]

Well the grapple release is still active when in a vehicle in jc2, and can you confirm that only 7 buttons are used. What about rudder control, and weapons for that matter

MCM is short for Mycoldman (aka Mike Oldman, Community Manager of Just Cause 2)

ahh stupid iPhone fails me again and movura beats me

i was just using 7/16 as an example.. weapons arent used in the vehicles.. so no drive-bys unfortunetly..

rudder is normally right analogue stick and pitch or roll is used in the left analogue stick.

at most it would be 10 bottons.

"landing gear retracts automatically depending on speed"
OH NO! dont tell me its true, thats is a bad idea. What if in high speed i wanted to descend to skim on a runway and then up again with my wheels down?

exacly what a dumb **** way of retracting **** **** i don't **** understand i mean who the **** decided this **** **** dumb **** :mad2::mad2:;):mad2:

All i say is link please , or it didn't happen i want facts please people not some one just saying some1 else said it , any links from were the man himself said this information. :scratch:

[nismo280zx]

Yeah I gathered that maton, I was just saying that since buttons are remapped for each vehicle, the planes controls will be mapped for weapons due to certain planes having weapons. But we will have to wait for the demo to know how controls are mapped, either that or the upcoming interview.

I'm just saying that there has to be a reason for having it automated

:eek: was everybody alright:flowers:

[nismo280zx]

Lol I just knew brauny would show up, & I had a feeling that video would too.

Oh sure bust out the video of the plane going down due to engine failure, and something that is hardly ever done safely.

[brauny]

it would jus take off manually if it hit a certain speed, real planes do that too

[jeffkeuh]

im pretty sure they make it work fine ;)

[brauny]

:eek: was everybody alright:flowers:

i think everyone lived, this was huge news when it happened, u guys never saw this before?

yes everybody got out fine lol. this was like a year or 2 ago!... i've flown a reinacted sim of this, i crashed :whistle:, so the pilot was bloody good!

[brauny]

yes everybody got out fine lol. this was like a year or 2 ago!... i've flown a reinacted sim of this, i crashed :whistle:, so the pilot was bloody good!

yea he was praised for it and they made specials about it and i think he got a medal or somethin too

[jhonny cage]

wow 2 years ago but thats awesome everybody survived yes no unbreakable:thumb::thumb:

[nismo280zx]

Obviously this would be a great interview question for movura to ask

[matonking]

wow 2 years ago but thats awesome everybody survived yes no unbreakable:thumb::thumb:

nice location ;):lol:

[jhonny cage]

nice location ;):lol:

;);):lol:

[nismo280zx]

Yeah unfortunately once he discovered that the engine failed, it was no late to power down and stop the plane in time.

He chose to land it in the river because it was the only way to ensure no one on the ground would be injured.

[Desaren]

I know I'm just being stupid now but who is this famous Movura?

[jeffkeuh]

the guy who created panauisland.com :D

[jhonny cage]

you sir suffer from a severe case of CDS

[jeffkeuh]

i have no idea what ur talking about :p

better now? :D

[jhonny cage]

i have no idea hat ur talking about :p

no hat talkin on this forum sir

[theo3335796]

i dont understand,whats landing gear?

[jeffkeuh]

"wheels" under your plane to land on ;)

[theo3335796]

so they retract if you go fast?:confused:

[Enkeixpress]

Good. To. Know. :thumb:

[brauny]

yea. ur speed controls when the landing gear is up or down

[Kha0swolf]

I for one have never landed a plane in the Just Cause series. It was probably just an asthetic choice.

[HHDnBKing!]

what if i was speeding on the runway for a while b4 take off, would it fold up while on the runway?

Haha! :thumb: :lol: Manually beats automatically there!

[Anubisstargate]

Maybe the fact of going high speed and landing would mean you might snap the wheels and crash anyway, so what's difference? High speed scraping fun or high speed snap wheels scraping fun, little difference me thinks.

Besides, towing a plane through water by boat sounds fun to me :D

[MiracleMax]

Look.... Get in the plane, take off, go to your destination... crash the plane! ...buy a *NEW PRETTY* plane... CRASH THE PLANE!!!!

explosions are never picky...

[SAS12]

I for one have never landed a plane in the Just Cause series.

Me to

never landed plane in JC1 mostly because you can't land without hitting something like a car or those super trees that don't fall down:mad: and it's faster to just freefall

[Anubisstargate]

In a game like this .... CRASH landing is too epic to give it a pass

[skater150]

i landed a plane a few times in jc1 it was dumb cuz u couldnt taxi around on the runways or anything its alot easier to crash land but landing is interesting

[Peardan]

I'm going to try some extreme hill landing. :D

[JAGeng]

Stupid idea. So if I want to land on water safely ( low speed ) so I must land with landing gear down?????!

so youd rather fly around with your landing gear exposed eh...einstein.

landing on water is a crash landing unless its a water plane so forget landing safely on water.

[Anubisstargate]

IF you can clip both your wings, now that would be epic!!! No wings and trying to land

[Ape]

Why are you including the start button? lol

already covered this on the previous page, no they dont.

and what?

[Rico Rodriguez (Cudel)]

that idea is retarded becuase i wanna do some nice stall stunts and stuff at low speed

[MiracleMax]

What is landing gear? I'm gonna blow mine off the plane first chance I get...land the plane with sheer awesomeness

[llx Todd xll]

What is landing gear? I'm gonna blow mine off the plane first chance I get...land the plane with sheer awesomeness

Lol landing gear is the wheels in a plane.

[Frankie G0dskin]

All this--over landing gear? With all the mayhem and chaos in this game, I don't think I'll even notice if the wheels of my plane are retracted.

[JustBecause_2010]

I was hoping to land while going as fast as possible. Shame it didn't happen though.

[chip5541]

Landing gear? The way I fly I don't think it will make a difference.

[nismo280zx]

Now that's what I'm talking about, the chip method of flight.
We don't need no stinking landing gears.

[chip5541]

yup! If it's good enough for Battlestations it is good enough for JC2.
