A350 landing gear visually extends/retracts when switching between cockpit and external view

Hello iniBuilds Team,

I have encountered a reproducible issue with the A350 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

I am currently using the latest A350 version v1.2.6.

The issue occurs with both the A350-900 and A350-1000:

On the ground:

• Landing gear remains correctly extended.

• Switching between cockpit and external view does not cause any issue.

• The landing gear lever remains in the DOWN position.

In flight:

• Landing gear lever is in the UP position.

• Gear indications in the cockpit remain correctly showing the gear as UP.

• When switching from cockpit view to external view, the landing gear is visually shown as extended.

• It then retracts again.

• This can repeat several times when switching between cockpit and external view.

• The landing gear lever in the cockpit remains UP throughout the entire process and does not move.

• When I remain in the external view without switching views again, the landing gear remains in the correct state according to the cockpit indications.

The exact same behaviour occurs with both the A350-900 and A350-1000.

I have therefore ruled out a controller input or an accidental gear command. The issue appears to be related to the external model/gear animation or the model/LOD being reloaded when switching between cockpit and external views.

Could you please confirm whether this is a known issue in v1.2.6 and whether there is a recommended workaround or fix?

I can also provide a video showing the issue if required.

Thank you!
