El Hadji Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I must be missing something here but I can't close my canopy. I doesn't matter if I use the keyboard shortcut or if I click the handle inside the cockpit. The canopy moves but it doesn't end up in locked position and there is a gap between the canopy and the front window frame. What do I need to do to lock it?

El Hadji Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Disregard. I had opened on the cockpit air valve before closing the canopy. Aparently that affects the locking mechanism. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My computer specs below: CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K@4.2GHz | CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100 | GPU: MSI Nvidia GTX 680 2GB Lightning 2GB VRAM @1.3GHz | RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 1600 | SSD 1: Corsair Force 3 120GB (SATA 6) | SSD 2: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB (SATA 6) | Hybrid disc: Seagate Momentus Hybrid 500/4GB (SATA 3) | Keyboard: QPAD MK-85 | Mouse: QPAD 5K LE | TrackIR 5 + Track Clip Pro | Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog | MFG Crosswind | OS: Win7/64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BillyCrusher Posted February 27, 2015 ED Team Share Posted February 27, 2015 Aparently that affects the locking mechanism. :) Yes. Pressurisation hose prevents to close canopy in that case.

Dirty Rotten Flieger Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thank you so much ! I have done this many times and couldn't figure out what was wrong and had to quit and start again. I was getting so annoyed by this when I couldn't work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
