[ACK] Pitot Cover / EFIS Miscomp

If you click in the vent outlet from the cockpit (clickpot region), the CAPT pitot tube gets covered, even during flight.

Thanks for the report, yes that does appear to be an issue. Will make sure it's reported to the developers directly. This is also probably the cause of the EFIS MISCOMP errors we've been seeing, so I've updated the title in the hope others find this report too.

Thank you so much for the report Becaspr.  My first flight was a night flight between CYUL and CYYZ and I thought I was had made some sort of catastrophic mistake when my AP went nuts and I lost airspeed on my Captain PFD.  I had the FMS N1 disagree and EFIS MISCOMP messages Graeme mentioned as soon as it happened.

had the same thing. Seems like its possible to click right through the wall of the cockpit and thereby put the pitot cover on. Had to switch to  ADC 2 until I found this here.
