Operating Cockpit Window

[Jjohnson241]

I can't seem to operate the sliding windows of the cockpit. Found the manipulator (hand), tried to click and drag rearward and the only thing that happens is I hear a click and the hand disappears.

Can someone help with a picture or short video of the procedure?

Thanks.

...is the switch on pressure cabin panel set to -Ground-

Don't know where that panel is, LOL. I reloaded that plane and the windows worked. I didn't operate any switches on any panel. I loaded the plane "ready to fly".

Yes, if you are quick you can open the windows before the pressure builds up... we are going to have a fix for some window-problems in the next update.

With ready to fly the switch is on FLIGHT and the cabin is pressurized so obviously you can't open the window.

to open/close the window just clic on the window manipulator, no need to drag.

To open the window the cabin must not be pressurized. If you are starting the aircraft "ready to fly" the cabin will be pressurized ready for takeoff, but due to the time it takes to presurize if you load the aircraft and quickly clic the window it will open, but this is just trick.

The important thing here is, cabin pressurized no window opening, cabin unpressurized you can manipulate the window.

If you start the aircraft "ready to fly" but you want to open the window to ventilate the cockpit a bit  or to listen the engines music during taxing, just go to the overhead panel (the big panel above your head), right down side (just above light switches strobe, anti collision, wing, etc) and toggle pressurization switch from FLT to GRD mode. Do not forget to set it back to FLT mode before takeoff.

 

Hope this helps
