Engine covers are still in place

[Timonier6900]

Hi,

Sorry for this question but ... How to remove the covers engine on this version 1.0.7 for MSFS2024 ?

Thanks for your explanations.

Regards

Marc

it acts like a walkaround item, pitot tubes and covers need to be clicked off before going into the aircraft (need to be outside the aircraft and click on them manually)

There is a new command you can bind to a key combination called QUICK PREFLIGHT, it removes the engine covers and pitot covers.

where can we find the new command ?

I respect this new function (engine and pitot covers) but it's not necessary because no airliner carry them on except for long term storage. In simulator we are supposed to fly so we anyway have to remove them.

Would prefer the pitot+engine cover be disabled by default and it being a toggle option on the OIS instead of forcing us to walkaround at every start but this also calls for asobo to change the spawning behavior as well.

You can't if you are not in the SU2 Beta.

That's what the original poster forgot to mention. 😉

To use the QUICK PREFLIGHT command: 

Settings -> Controls

Select your keyboard or mouse

In the "search by input" box type: QUICK PREFLIGHT

Assign it to a key or button
