Hi all,

 

is there a canopy toggle, some planes opens their canopy automatically in flight,

how can I close the canopy?

It looks mad, flying with 800 mph and having the canopy opened !

it depends on the maker of the mod.

some of the mods have auto canopy

while some assigns an animation key.

those with automatic speed control can also be easily assinged an animation key.

 

You'd just replace the "auto-speed'' canopy callout with something like this:

 

[Canopy]

SystemType=ANIMATION

InputName=ANIMATION_10

DeploymentMethod=MANUAL

AnimationTime=4.0

AnimationID=8 <---

 

the most important thing, is to make sure the AnimationID= is the same number as the autospeed one.

what I do is comment out the original, and just add the new key controled type. Below example is from the Wildcat:

 

//[Canopy]

//SystemType=HIGHLIFT_DEVICE

//DeploymentMethod=AUTOMATIC_SPEED

//Setting[1].Angle=50.0

//Setting[1].DeployValue=10.0

//Setting[1].RetractValue=50.0

//MaxDeflection=50.0

//MinDeflection=0.0

//ControlRate=2.0

//AnimationID=8

//ModelNodeName=CanopyFrame

 

[Canopy]

SystemType=ANIMATION

InputName=ANIMATION_10

DeploymentMethod=MANUAL

AnimationTime=4.0

AnimationID=8

 

nothing to it!! :biggrin:
