front canopy jammed shut

Post by alan CXA651 »

Hi.
Today i took the texan for a spin , flight was ok , but on coming into land , i tried to open the canopy to first notch , and found it jammed shut , once on ground and parked, i tried the rear canopy , that worked as it should , but no movment from front canopy.
i found a way to un jam it , and that was the shift+e , but the canopy opend to the first notch and closed again,i normally used left mouse button to open and right to close , but i have found , and can reproduce it repeatedly , if you accidently hit right mouse button twice , THATS WHEN IT JAMS SHUT. and thats why the shift+e caused it to open to first notch then imediatly shuts again, but once that happens , the canopy is unjammed , and you can open/shut canopy once again using the handle and left/right mouse buttons.

I think this one was identified and fixed by the A2A guys a few months ago Alan, though I'm not sure what happened to that update. It hasn't been released yet anyway... :|

Hi.
Thanks for info , if its already on the update list, then i wont expect it before the connie comes out , as that is when i think the updater will be updated to fix things in all the a2a fleet.
At least i know what was causeing the jam , and how to get it unjammed for now.
