Viperpits and BMS Falcon- the next best thing to being there!
Quote from: Tulkas on April 17, 2024, 08:46:01 AMI still don't get it, if in the real plane you use the toggle switch to lower or raise the canopy, why would we want in our cockpits the roller switch to do that job?The toggle switch is to raise/lower the canopy, I believe the roller switch then locks/seals the cockpit. Both the toggle switch and the roller switch (via the spider) is implemented in BMS.

Ahhh, now I see There are two roller switches!That's a new puzzle for me too

For the time being, there is not "canopy sealing", but I think I am going to add a switch for it as well, just in case it gets implement in the future, but probably it won't be necessary.
I think this settles it?

But that would also mean, you will need to have a real canopy to close that switch, wouldn't it?Otherwise, how is it going to activate?

Probably unnecessary, but is not a big job and I am tired of opening and revisiting parts of the cockpit to upgrade
