Aerosoft A330 Gear issue, no thrust reverse, no nose wheel steering

Just completed a round trip zurich-JFK. flight out was fine absolutely zero issues & the flight back was fine until the approach when i ran in to some problems...

Once established on the ILS i put the gear down and got 3 green indicated but then had a warning that the landing gear wasn't down on short final, after a go around I seen the landing gear was down on visual inspection but the doors had not fully shut back up. On my 2nd attempt at landing I had the same issue and once landed realised I also had no reverse thrust with both hardware & then keyboard commands, once I came to a stop and checked the outside view seen the aircraft itself was slightly sunk into the ground and the wheels despite being down were clearly having some issues with the rear ones not in the horizontal position as you can see from the photos attached, I then tried to taxi off the runway to find I also had no nose wheel steering.

after having a search of the forum I see I'm not the only person to run into this exact same issue and that thread lacked any sort of solution or answer to why it happened & frankly was annoying to read as all the replies from anyone associated with aerosoft seemed to suggest it was a user problem over an aircraft problem which it certainly isn't, calibration issues don't cause what I experienced with the gear indication and the aircraft being sunk into the ground with a rear gear not in the horizontal position..., especially when I'd already completed a trip with no issues and didn't restart the sim between flights, nor did I use time acceleration.

aircraft - A330-300 RR variant (Swiss livery) (latest version installed as I only bought it about a week ago & double checked via the aerosoft updater)

sim - P3d 4.5 (just had a full system restore & re-install 2-3 weeks ago)
