wip Cockpit door automatically closes with forward flight

If you take off with the cockpit door open it automatically closes after you reach about 30 or 40 kph air speed.  If you open the door during flight it automatically closes after a short time.

Pilot commander and operator? They dont fly with open doors IRL ... so its ok.

I don't think it would be smart to fly with a rearward opening door open unless you wanted to explain later why it was missing, or perhaps why it was embedded in your rotor at the crash site.

Pilot commander.  I understand that you normally wouldn't fly in this configuration, but it is supposed to be a sim.  If you leave the door open it will probably rip off at 300 kph.  Just like a canopy in a jet.  Those don't automatically close over a certain speed that I have seen.  You can manually control them and if conditions are right the canopy will rip off.

This is actually a workaround right now for the lack of simulated damage from having the door open, so while its not accurate, its only a placeholder right now.
