reported Gun gas door

[Q3ark]

Should the gun gas purge door be closed unless the gun is firing? It's open at all times from a cold start, closing and operating normally when the gun is fired for the first time.

It only opens when the cannon is fired. It closes again when the shot is finished. The situation in DCS is correct.

Hello @Q3ark

I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce what you claim here.

Make sure not to be using mods and if you don't, run a quick repair to your DCS World to make sure something else isn't interfering.

Hi @Lord Vader I don't run any mods, this install of DCS has never been modded in the past.

I did a repair on steam, no change. I've attached two track files, the first one is the cold and dark instant action flight, the second is the ready at the ramp one, both on the Caucases map. In the cold and dark instant action track the gas purge door is open, it will remain open if you take off and fly with it, only closing after you fire the gun, then it will work normally. The second track file is hot start, gas purge door works as it should.

I'm using the multi thread version on steam, up to date. Steps to reproduce, 1 Cold start instant action flight or place a cold start jet on the ramp in the mission editor.

Steps to reproduce the problem.
 

Do a cold start, before you even turn on the battery go outside the aircraft and see of that door is open. If it is then power up and take off, have a look and see if that door is still open. Then fire the gun, it will now operate as it should.

 

this problem does not present itself if you do a hot start aircraft.

I see, @Q3ark, that cold/hot scenario is important to verify. 

Thanks, reported.
