If the FW system to a catastrophic hit in the gear retract motor it would drop like a rock, not motor down. Your video proves nothing other than that that gear was lowering under power. The system uses a highly geared motor that will not drop down with or without the gear uplock being functional. At worst it would just sag an inch or so taking up any gear lash in the mechanism. This is quite unlike virtually any other WWII aircraft, and it would be neat to see it modeled in accordance to the actual function. You are welcome to disagree, but it doesn't make your comments valid, nor does it invalidate my desire to see this unique function modeled.

Ah now I remember, yes you said this over at SAS too.
Great that you owned a replica 190, kudos.
But it was a replica, and you never had a thunderbolt raining .50 into you trying to kill you.
You know the old saying a picture is worth a thousand words. So get to typing or better get some video evidence supporting your claim.
See my favorite part of the video is where the 190 starts getting shot, and then the gear starts to drop miraculously. Amazing coincidence.
But ya he's probably surrendering, cause it's 1916 in the video.
