Auto Start procedure does not close canopy

This is not a bug.

 

 

Manual page 131 (Taxiing):

Taxi with the canopy open. This not only aids visibility, but keeps the cockpit cooler on the ground.

 

 

Manual page 133 (Takeoff):

Lineup for takeoff, close canopy and lock the tailwheel.

a few times i take off in P47

and because i have a wind simulator..

i am getting ALOT of wind in my face

because i forget to close the canopy...

 

but then in other DCS aircraft, canopy close is part of the start procedure

 

This is the correct procedure. The canopy should be open during takeoff because of how the canopy emergency jettison system works. You are required to land and take off with the canopy open, as you may not have enough speed to eject the canopy in case of an emergency.
