Openable Canopy

Good Evening,

I am attempting to have an operating canopy, clamshell-style, rearward-opening, on a military aircraft.

use door_passenger instead?
or make sure you're using shift-E to activate the main exit.

*ding* - you also need an entry in the aircraft.cfg file



[exits] section
number_of_exits = 1
exit_rate.0 = 0.4


number_of_exits      
This value defines the number of simulated exits, or doors, on the aircraft.

exit_rate.n      
This value defines the rate, in percent per second, at which the exit articulates.  It is equal to 1/time, where time is time in seconds at which the exit moves from fully closed to fully open or vice versa.

That did it (both the door_passenger & aircraft.cfg info).  Thanks so much!!
