how do i deploy landing gear!!!

[Goose]

i spawned in one of the in game sv's, and the landing gear is like, up inside the ship. How the hell do i deply? im landing on my hull. I checked the controls and found nothing

Some landing gears are retractable. If that's the case it will say in the name and automaticly deploy as you land. It can't be controlled. Overwise it will automaticly dock when you touch a CV/Base

well this one doesnt extend :/

There is one gear that does not extent at all. It's called the docking gear I belive (hover mouse over it in the menu on landing gear blocks). The rest should extend upon landing.

It's called the Docking Pad

[piddlefoot]

If one of your docking pads wont extend its usually because its to far away from landing pad / block.
They auto deploy.
Burnalot is right on the money also, theres one pad that doesnt extend, mouse over it in menu to see which ones extend and which dont.

Tip.
Best way to ensure everything always lines up in space, before spawning that base, hit the auto level button, now base will spawn dead level to plane in space, now when ever you want to dock a ship to that station simply hit the auto level button and now you have ship and station dead level, docking NEVER fails under these conditions.

please make auto extending landing gears toggleable with a shortcut - they extend and get in the way when you just want your craft to be low to the ground, which is buggy and unreliable

First, why did you revive a 2018 discussion for this???

Even if they were able to be toggled with a keybind or switch it wouldn't change things for you.
Landing gear have the same hitbox when they are retracted or extended. Meaning even if retracted they still get in the way as if they were extended.

Devs have so far made zero mention of ever changing this either.

It's 2023 still waiting on a hotkey to retract and extend landing gear...

The things I said are still true as well.....

Did you actually have any comment on my post at all, or did you quote me for no reason?

What I want is for turrets that are turned ON to be retracted. They only deploy when a valid target is detected. I also want a Ferrari. But i am probably not going to get that, either.
