that's right, but there are no lightbits for the gearlights, AND the 
gearhandle lightbit only updates, when the gearhandle is in view in the 
cockpit (no good for HUD-only view).
what I'm doing is:
check the value Nose/Left/RightGearPos: if it's (i guess) 1.43xxx, turn 
gear light on, any other value, turn light off.
check the value "gearPos": if it's between 0 and 1, turn gearhandle 
light on.
if it's 0 OR 1 AND one of the *GearPos Values is between 0 and 1.43xx 
keep gearhandle light on (gear failure).

I'm actually at the office and not exactly sure, if these are the 
correct values, but it should work like explained.
