Bersagliere81 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) The canopy is not closing. I can't say exactly what triggers this, but it happens on both single/multiplayer under these conditions: -rearming -ground power -full start up when the aircraft is fully ready, canopy just doesn't slide. You can actually close the canopy immediately, but later when you land, you can't open it. Current open beta version Edit: It seems rearming is the trigger preventing the canopy to slide. Also, I am noticing the oxygen flow indicator is not blinking Edited December 25, 2019 by Bersagliere81 | A-10C | MiG-21bis | Hawk T1.A | L-39 Albatros | F-5E | Ka-50 | Mi-8 | NTTR | CA | SU27 | M2000C | F-86F | AV-8B | F/A-18C | Mig 15 | Mig 19| Specs Intel i7-9700k msi GTX 2060 Gaming Z msi Z390 Gaming PLUS 16gb RAM Hotas Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitMaster Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I remember having the same issue some time ago. Haven't tried in a while as ever since I take the "in air " start.

Bersagliere81 Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 I must say also the cockpit lights look very very low.

Art-J Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Could you post a SP mission where it happens for you? I tried default instant cold start mission ("rearming" only the livery) on Caucasus and a custom quick mission on Nevada (actual refueling and rearming with bombs). Canopy closed in both cases as intended (I use mouse for that), also the oxygen indicator was blinking OK. In the second case I crashlanded and couldn't open the canopy indeed, but I don't know if it was result of a crash, or a bug. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

JG14_Smil Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hello, Are you using auto startup and shut down's or manual? If using auto start more than once, you can trigger a bug where the canopy does not re-seal. The L-39 was the same way before the bug fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bersagliere81 Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 Manual startup (it's DCS c'mon! :D ) I will attach a track in the next hours or tomorrow morning | A-10C | MiG-21bis | Hawk T1.A | L-39 Albatros | F-5E | Ka-50 | Mi-8 | NTTR | CA | SU27 | M2000C | F-86F | AV-8B | F/A-18C | Mig 15 | Mig 19| Specs Intel i7-9700k msi GTX 2060 Gaming Z msi Z390 Gaming PLUS 16gb RAM Hotas Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUICE-AWG Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Check to see if your Oxygen Mask hose or G-Suit hose is hanging over the side of the canopy rail...if so, have it checked about by Aircrew Equipment Techs!

Bersagliere81 Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 Track is up. Single player flight from mission editor, current open beta version. I started closing the canopy to show you it works in the very first seconds, but a little after start up it gets stuck. The same goes for the other way, if i close the canopy, later on I can't open it. About the oxygen now reading better the manual I bwlieve it is supposed to blink after 2000m, maybe I always flew too lowmig15 canopy bug.trk | A-10C | MiG-21bis | Hawk T1.A | L-39 Albatros | F-5E | Ka-50 | Mi-8 | NTTR | CA | SU27 | M2000C | F-86F | AV-8B | F/A-18C | Mig 15 | Mig 19| Specs Intel i7-9700k msi GTX 2060 Gaming Z msi Z390 Gaming PLUS 16gb RAM Hotas Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bersagliere81 Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Thank you for the update. But then what is preventing the canopy from closing? | A-10C | MiG-21bis | Hawk T1.A | L-39 Albatros | F-5E | Ka-50 | Mi-8 | NTTR | CA | SU27 | M2000C | F-86F | AV-8B | F/A-18C | Mig 15 | Mig 19| Specs Intel i7-9700k msi GTX 2060 Gaming Z msi Z390 Gaming PLUS 16gb RAM Hotas Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 3, 2020 ED Team Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hi The air system in the canopy frame when the air system is active inflates the seal in the canopy frame which will prevent closure. 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Nephris Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I got the same behaviour, but I dont figure how to solve it, or I didnt understand the tips you gave above. So what am I supposed to do to get the canopy closed? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 ^ Make sure the cockpit air supply valve is closed I presume (the "rainbow" one on the right ;)). That should depressurize the canopy seal, allowing canopy to move freely. 1 i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

streakeagle Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 This should be some kind of stickied post. I had no idea why the canopy wouldn't close sometimes. Now I know :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgo47 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I found this nearly furious about "multiplayer only MiG-15 canopy close bug"... and it turned out I just activated the airconditioning (right-hand valve) before the canopy.
