Title: P-47 Opening Canopy
Post by: duffys tavern on January 15, 2018, 09:36:29 AM

BAT 3.3
Noticed that in BAT 3.3 the "default" or "Stock" P-47s canopies don't open properly, instead of sliding they go "up" or "down" when you open them. Anyone else noticed this? Any help appreciated. Looked through BAT Tech Help but there is a lot of stuff in there and I might have missed it.

Not certain which ones are the "stock", but all of my P-47 canopies slide open. The -30, -40 and M models have canopies which open automatically if placed in a scramble mission (pet peeve) but they do slide open.

That problem came up with one of my releases when the the canopy open feature was first activated. The original class files had the external canopy opening either up and down or left to right. At that time I corrected the lines in the class files. It is possible that within BAT that class files without this correction are active.

I will be posting a new version of the stock P47 cockpit within the next few days, I'm glad I saw this, I will investigate.
