TYVM! I was flying an A320 in X Plane and for some reason the landing gear did not retract. I heard a suspicious noise in the cockpit and the indicated speed did not increase. And I saw gear not uplocked😆
The exact same thing happened to me today. I'm new to Airbus and wasn't so happy! I diverted to LIML but "bent" the aeroplane on arrival. Wish I'd seen this video earlier! :)
Hi BlackBox!Could you answer,how is it possible to activate “L/G not uplocked” malfunctions? I use FSLABs,but there is no this item in FMGS failure section.
i often have this issue, I Thought it was a bug like the APU autoshutdown ( which I still have time to time). Even If I haven't read the A320 non normal procedure, I did what you did and it resolves the issue but I still don't like to have random issues when we set radom failure to off....
Hi Blackbox711, Thanks for your video. So I have this issue at each rotation with complex planes. I have regenerated my config in the good way. So can you explain me how you do to have maybe a good cold & dark panel State ? Maybe it can help me to resolve the gear still down. Regards Fred
Well you posted your question below the FSLabs A320 video. Anyways, the PMDG also has standard Cold and Dark states in the MCDU. I have never used any other states than those
Ok I don't want support for PMDG. I'm talking about a file like PMDG CLD where stored the state of the the plane. So I have resolved my issue ( a bad offset declaration in my Acars app). Also found a way to avoid bad Panel State saved in Prepar3D.cfg Thanks Fred
Blackbox, really enjoying your videos, you've inspired me to get into flight sims. Quick question from your description of this failure: You said that after each gear full cycle it swaps LGCIU, so by recycling it swaps to the serviceable one and the gear travels. Would this mean that on approach at destination when you select gear down as last time it used the serviceable LGCIU it would swop to the failed one and again fail, you would then have to go through the actions to get it to swop to the serviceable one. Or is the system clever enough not to select the U/S one again? Cheers RotaryBuzz
Hi. Thank you very much for your kind words! Very good question. The now working LGCIU would also be used for the gear extension. The system is indeed clever enough to deselect the faulty LGCIU. Regards
I honestly don't know. This was the first failure after logging about 50 hours on the A320-X. But you can select random failures to occur every 8 hours for example.
Exciting. The first option is what I'm looking for. (Selecting one event per X hours isn't exactly random to me, since it will definitely happen within that timeframe...)
Hi VivaLaEmil1. Once you are in the cockpit go to the MCDU and press the key MCDU MENU. Then on the right side select the prompt "failures". Next select the prompt [ ] on the top left. Now scroll through the menus until you find the prompts " engine 1 birdstrike". Now select a certain speed, altitude or time for this failure to occur. Repeat these steps for "engine 2 birdstrike". Regards
Thank you for your detailed instructions. However I mean the "random" failures, do you have to activate that as a setting or is it on by default? I just got an ECAM warning when taking off about the automatic fuel feed not working so I guess random failures are on by default?
Hi André. Thank you for your feedback. I did have a A320 rating, not any more though. So yes, now I am doing this just for fun since this plane has always fascinated me. Regards
I am doing well, thank you for asking. I have received so many kind replies from my viewers. I did not expect that sort of resonance and that's what really motivates me to bring out more videos in the coming weeks.Regards

such a nice way to show the full procedure..beautiful

Hi. When you get this the first time it can catch you of guard. But keep practicing! Happy landings.
Didn't it came to your mind to just put the gear back down and then up like just to reset ?
I tried resetting gear with no success
Well, that is a new fault then. But it can happen!
Hi BlackBox!Could you answer,how is it possible to activate “L/G not uplocked” malfunctions? I use FSLABs,but there is no this item in FMGS failure section.
Hi. At the moment there are unfortunately no landing gear malfunctions available.
Very good explanation BB!
I made a suggestion to teach you how to make a "go around" and "holding" in the A320 FSL. I appreciate your work !
i often have this issue, I Thought it was a bug like the APU autoshutdown ( which I still have time to time). Even If I haven't read the A320 non normal procedure, I did what you did and it resolves the issue but I still don't like to have random issues when we set radom failure to off....
Hi. I am not sure when or how these failures occur. But they do happen and afaik you can't switch them off. Regards
Hi BB. I know that you use Chaseplane so how did you manage to look down and control the landing gear so smoothly, please?
Hi. I think you mean moving viewpoint with the mouse? That is done by selecting pull&drag by holding down my center mouse button (scrollwheel).
Thank you.@@Blackbox711
Suggestions to friend. Go Around and Holding. Their performances are excellent. Continue in this format, useful and objective.
Hi Luiz. I am not sure what you mean. Could you please be more precise.Thank you.
Hello sir ! I have the same aircraft and I don’t know the reason but the nose wheel is not steering enough . Can you help me please??
Which Flightsim? P3D?
Blackbox711 Fsx
Then I can’t really help you because I am not using FSX. May I suggest you go to the FSLabs Forum. They will help you there.
Hi Blackbox711, Thanks for your video. So I have this issue at each rotation with complex planes. I have regenerated my config in the good way.

The FSLabs has a Cold and Dark panel state. You can access it through the MCDU
Thanks but I'm talking about a file like PMDG
Well you posted your question below the FSLabs A320 video. Anyways, the PMDG also has standard Cold and Dark states in the MCDU. I have never used any other states than those

Hi Blackbox How did you manage to program this failure. There is none on the fslabs A320.
It just happened
Thanks for yours movies.. they are very informatives :)
Hi Yvan. Thank you very much. More videos are in process. Regards

Hi Blackbox711, does the FSLabs A320-X have maintenance based failures?
Hi Nicolas. No. You can program random failures though with a random timer.
How often do these random failures occur?
I honestly don't know. This was the first failure after logging about 50 hours on the A320-X. But you can select random failures to occur every 8 hours for example.
Exciting. The first option is what I'm looking for.
(Selecting one event per X hours isn't exactly random to me, since it will definitely happen within that timeframe...)
Please tell me how you do that ? I read the introduction manual but didn't find how to enable random failures. :(
Hi VivaLaEmil1. Once you are in the cockpit go to the MCDU and press the key MCDU MENU. Then on the right side select the prompt "failures". Next select the prompt [ ] on the top left.

For random failure do I have to also set the time as random or just the kind of failure?
Hi halbi. You can trigger the failure by time, speed or altitude. Also you can execute the failure immediately. Regards
Great work!
You are type rated or just doing this for "fun"?
Hi André. Thank you for your feedback. I did have a A320 rating, not any more though. So yes, now I am doing this just for fun since this plane has always fascinated me. Regards
+Blackbox711 oh alright, hope it's all ok with you. Keep going, you doing a great work.
I am doing well, thank you for asking. I have received so many kind replies from my viewers. I did not expect that sort of resonance and that's what really motivates me to bring out more videos in the coming weeks.Regards
