[ALREADY REPORTED]Strange repair issue

[Lace]

Set up a simple SP mission yesterday and during the startup I accidentally jettisoned the canopy when reaching for the fuel feed selector :doh:. Rather than start over I thought it would be a good opportunity to take the F-16 Convertible (that's what the C stands for, right?) for an evening flight since I've always been a fan of open cockpit flying. The mission went well and open cockpit flying is a little louder but M1+ still possible. Not sure what to make of that but I know the FM is still WIP.

 

 

Anyway the issue was after landing and shutdown I requested a repair to see if the crew chief could stick a new canopy back on. The 180sec countdown began and then at zero the aircraft was pulled about 50ft into the air and settled onto the roof of an open hangar at Tonopah Test Range. The canopy was then attached. I didn't attempt to taxy off the roof.

 

 

 

I can attach a log if someone lets me know where they are kept?

Slightly OT but is there a good reason for the "lift in the air" animation while repairing?

Yes there is, if the landing gear needs to be repaired. That's especially impotant if the aircraft has made a belly landing.

I see, that makes sense. It would clip in the ground after "snapping" back to its intended position after the repair otherwise :book:

I have also reported the canopy issue

 

thank you

Thanks for the laugh!

Good point. What about the Su-25T? It's not lifted up, and is easily rearmed subground.
