I know this might be ruling with an Iron fist but I’d just lock the canopies for jets. Having them open on fast movers is stupid on many levels and lets be frank it’s not exactly common to see an F-16 landing with its canopy wide open before touch down. At the end of the day what are we missing? Being able to press a button to close the canopy before take off… what are we gaining? Much fairer games where people can no longer abuse badly implemented sound mechanics and cockpit layouts all of a sudden really matter…as they should. Seems like a no brainer to me.
Leave the canopies on WW2 aircraft alone but only give limited adjustability to sound controls so you can’t mute your engine noise but have external sounds at max volume giving you cheat eardar. If players complain the game is too loud then use your damn TV remote or adjust your monitor.
Just ask the smart internet…
It can happen that when the cabin cover is open, structural damage to the cabin and the technology in the cabin will occur, especially the helmet and the equipment on the helmet.
The pilot is limited in movement due to air flow, at high altitudes there is extreme frost, so the possibility of freezing the air intake, etc. and consequently, the aerodynamics of the aircraft are fundamentally disrupted…
In reality, many such things have happened with the cabin cover…
The usual procedure is to drop below 10,000 ft (3,000 meters), reduce speed to 400 km/h and land as soon as possible.
In the game, the cover should be blocked during the flight, otherwise it is another thing that would need to be programmed in detail, depending on the flight altitude and speed…
You need to monitor the space around you and the signaling in the cabin, map, chat…
when anything unusual happens there are procedures for pilots to follow, those procedures have their reason, it’s not like a manual for a car that anyone can buy anywhere, they don’t apply any safety deviations so that the pilot doesn’t fly faster than he should, the pilot must know the exact limits so that he never reaches them. there are procedures for both car drivers and military aircraft pilots, and especially for them. Those manuals and procedures were written by people who know best, they invented and designed the aircraft. the pilot is not the person who makes decisions in these situations alone, the pilot must respect the procedures and the manual. reality is not topgun where the maverick has the task of flying MACH 10 and no more, but he will still try more. if you follow something, then according to the manuals and procedures for extraordinary events. I showed enough examples, presented all possible factors that affect the pilot. showed possible solutions, if any of the developers are reading this, they’ll probably take something from me, who searched, read, and came to a conclusion that makes more than enough sense.
Then pilot will feel the disconfort, of the tempriture, airflow and noise.
In the book named Le Grand Cirque, written by Pierre Clostermanna, is written that pilots back in WW2 feared pulling hight Gs because noone was sure if pulling that hard cant lead to some long time medical issues. So here are those limits.
This leads to nowhere, you say pilots doesnt feel any disconfort without cabine I say thay do. We both agree the prashure change outside is a problem but that is all.
I can agree on this. If we make a suggestion about it, we can put there everyting that effect an pilot and say, that in a discussen we ended here with stun witch will do the work.
“The maximum speed not to be exceeded was 750kmh. Once I was flying above Helsinki as I received a report of Russkies in the South. There was a big Cumulus cloud on my way there but I decided to fly right through. I centered the controls and then something extraordinary happened. I must have involuntarily entered into half-roll and dive. The planes had individual handling characteristics; even though I held the turning indicator in the middle, the plane kept going faster and faster, I pulled the stick, yet the plane went into an ever steeper dive.
In the same time she started rotating, and I came out of the cloud with less than one kilometer of altitude. I started pulling the stick, nothing happened, I checked the speed, it was about 850kmh. I tried to recover the plane but the stick was as if locked and nothing happened. I broke into a sweat of agony: now I am going into the sea and cannot help it. I pulled with both hands, groaning and by and by she started recovering, she recovered more, I pulled and pulled, but the surface of the sea approached, I thought I was going to crash. I kept pulling until I saw that I had survived. The distance between me and the sea may have been five meters. I pulled up and found myself on the coast of Estonia.
If I in that situation had used the vertical trim the wings would have been broken off. A minimal trim movement has a strong effect on wings when the speed limit has been exceded. I had 100kmh overspeed! It was out of all limits.
The Messerschmitt’s wings were fastened with two bolts. When I saw the construction I had thought that they are strong enough but in this case I was thinking, when are they going to break
-What about the phenomenon called “buffeting” or vibration, was there any?
No, I did not encounter it even in the 850kmh speed.”

Manual limits always have safety margins to account for variance in production quality of various parts.
