PROBLEM WITH FLAPS AND GEAR IN MULTI-PLAYER

[BoB_GENERAL_ALT]

~S~ ALL!, In multi-player using the firepower bombers, i've noticed that the host can land but others have problems lowering flaps and landing gear?
as C.O. of a fighter/bomber squadron , there's nothing like watchin a bunch of "heavies" roll in after a great mission!
but, what happens is that some have gear and no flaps , or vise versa!

is this a problem with cfs3? , or firepower?
and has anybody else seen this happen?
and will the firepower patch ( due this fall ) correct this problem?

hope somebody has the answer!
THANKS!

When in multi player always hit the "E" to start your engines even if thay are already running. The engines will be running but the hydraulics wount. Hitting your "E" button with start the hydraulics.

I had that happen. I was flyin and tried to put the gear down. No go. I figured damage of some kind. I was able to get the gear down manualy. when I landed I hit control 'b' for some reason,, for yucks, and the flaps cycled. So in my case, the master was not on. so when flying after auto engine start, I hit the control 'b' in order to have the master on. This is only sometimes though. It is in single player, not MP too.
