Rear cargo doors close at speed, even when landed on a carrier.

The Hip's cargo doors automatically close when you exceed something like ~50 km/h. I have a mission where I have a couple of carriers set to move at 30 kts, which is ~55 km/h. This has made it so that when I land on the carrier, I can't open the cargo doors to unload and load troops and supplies (CTLD).

The one time I did try this I ended up having to roll from the front of the carrier towards the back to "slow down" the helicopter, and quickly dump my stuff as I was rolling.

I would expect to be able to open the rear doors with weight on wheels more or less regardless of speed.

Talking generally, some doors do have operational limits, both on operation, and even how far. Some aircraft in the real world would need to be re-positioned before certain doors could be opened.

These doors are relatively large in area, and relatively light (160 lbs/door).

"When performing a forced landing, fly the aircraft as far into the crash as possible." - Bob Hoover.

The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts.

"An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot."
