So as the title says Im cruising at 34000 and FSSO will suddenly say gear down & the co lowers the landing gear ??. This is in p3dv4.5 flying anything its not just 1 aircraft it does this too. Any ideas  Also when importing a flight plan i always get this type of error window pop up (see google drive link) drive.google.com/open?id=1QgDyrdJZBx6ZIxPx7KoF4B98MScIoQrk |

Hey Bozza!
I don't think this is FSFO, sir; FSFO will not attempt to lower the gear until the aircraft is below 12000 ft AGL and your IAS is below 251 knots; I added those conditional statements a long time ago to prevent the gear from dropping at cruse. FSFO will inform you the gear has been lowered, but he's not doing it himself until the conditions above are met. You can completely disable this feature by going to CFG > un-check "mng lndg gear" option. However, if you're using voice, and you command the copilot to lower the gear, he will without regard to the altitude and/or speed. Maybe there's an open mic and he's misinterpreting a command or voice from the room? That's certainly possible!
Concerning the flight plan. What flight planner are you using? There's a problem with the output and it does not conform to FSX/P3D SDK. If you use simbrief, simply download the "FSX/P3D" format and you're good-to-go. If not, we might have an issue with the windows language pack you're using.

Thanks Mathew, Yes maybo open mic is the problem, I will watch that on future flights.
I use sim brief but the flight plan is made using simtoolkit which will get the flight plan from simbrief.
I then export the simbrief plan to p3d as fsx/p3d PLN file.

Ok so its not voice activated wheels down, My mic if off and vox unchecked in FSFO and it just happened again,
I was away from my laptop so it wasn't an accidental key press either.
I will try without FSFO and see if its another addon causing this

However, it could be something else. |

So i did one whole flight without FSFO ( it was very lonely without my CO) and no random gear down.
Its something i can live with but would be nice if it didn't happen.

I recently upgraded from FSFO 1.3 and the application is stuck on Waiting for IRS to Align

Ok so unchecking manage landing gear stops random gear drops but then i lose half my co pilot, hmmmm...that option is tied to one event, and one event only. Moreover, that flight phase (lower the landing gear) will not be activated until you complete the descent checklist and the aircraft is below 12,000 ft AGL. I wonder, are you importing a flight plan? Are you using the checklist? Leave the manage checklist checked in enter 0 in the landing gear option (AGL). |

 I have the same problem with importing the flightplan. I use the flightplan from Simbrief the FSX/P3D file which looks like this: LHBPLICJ_FSX_06-jul20.pln and get the same message that it is not the correct format. But in the free version it worked O.K. Rather strange. Regards, Hans |
