reported F-16 Canopy Latch Hooks Animation Missing

[ECHO 12]

The canopy latch system is not animated. When lowering the canopy, once it touches the cockpit frame, the curved latches then rotate around the canopy mounting points (This is the extra sound you hear after it's closed). Below are screenshots. There are multiple latches around the canopy. All of them should rotate around the canopy mounts to engage and lock the canopy down.

My guess is since it's still not listed, and they're planning to move the Viper to general release and out of Early Access.... this is probly not going to be on the list?

What do you mean by "it's not listed"? The issue was reported internally. At some point, it will be fixed.

Not listed in the current roadmap (https://forum.dcs.world/topic/206282-subject-to-change-desired-f-16c-systems-and-payloads-for-early-access/ ). Wasn't sure what that meant since the other "reported" animations are on the roadmap. Like jfs doors, bit animations, Hook animation,etc.. Canopy latches wasn't so I was "assuming" not listed on the current roadmap meant possibly that it was going to go to the general release roadmap that will be released later?

Hope this will be implemeneted, as you can not unsee it when first being aware of it.

Currently the canopy latch, I assume, is not animated in respect that it does rotate to a locked position. Bug or just not planned? Unlocked vs locked in the following images.

Hey @Carbon715

Like @Tholozor said, this was already brought about and hopefully it will be improved in future updates.

Thanks for your care.
