Maint. Hangar

[dvm]

I hope this has not been answered before, are damage to the landing gear as an example modeled and if so how will this damage be indicated. I have checked the manual but there is no explanation.

I think if you have a hard landing the gear will collapse abd u will need to reset the flight for repairs

I speaking more in generalities. Does the Connie have a maintenance hangar like the rest of the accu-sim birds where damage to other than the engines show up some where in the hangar ?

No maint. Hanger on the Connie.

Hi dvm,

More specifically, the Connie does have a maintenance hangar (Shift+7) but it is very simple - much like the B377. Pretty much all you can do is overhaul an engine.

That's not correct. It's like on the B377. Rudimentary.

Thanks for the help everyone. I am aware of the shift 7 window but was looking for something besides the engine overhaul and you gentleman have answered my question. I can only assume that there are limited resources within the sim and they were consumed by the crew, load manager and other features.

It's more a conscious decision for the COTS line. The focus with COTS is that you're the Captain, not the owner. As such, if something breaks, you just report it to the mechanics and they fix it. There's no need to know the detailed condition of every component since that's the job of your airline's maintenance personnel. Personally, I would rather see the button be "Swap Engine" or "Replace Engine," as in the real world the usual procedure on these airplanes was simply to swap engines that were having problems instead of trying to troubleshoot and repair while the engine was on the airframe.
