As you know in EngMod 2.6 RC final old-style NoOpenCanopy doesn't work any more.

- 'No Open canopy' AI is assigned in flightmodel .fmd as "CCockpitDoor 2",  old "TypeNoOpenCanopy" is erased

Original topic: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,23327.0.html

Here is ridiculously small update to standalone carrier-based planes FMs that fix it:
- F4 (version 1.31)
- F8 (compatible to standard and Vega's version)
- A4
- A7 (includes A7D_E from Vega's update, relates to re-fuel probe)
- L159F
- L159N (L139N)
- FFR-41MR (Yukikaze)
Only change was CCockpitDoor parameter and AI now is closing canopy before start.

EDIT: Tested also on 4.12 with Engine Mod 2.7 by Bravo.

Download: https://www.mediafire.com/download/427cjx8p3oxfk80/!FM.20130930.zip
Just backup original FM files and replace them with the one from the package
Supplement 1 (A4): https://www.mediafire.com/download/d7hone3fust790u/!FM.20130930b.zip

Troubleshooting: You still need NoOpenCanopy class as e.g. F4 refers to it.
If you remove that class you get 70% error on game start.
Just make sure it is less important than JetWar 1.32 and and EngMod 2.6 RC fin classes to avoid overwriting them.
It can be found in F4 packages...

Tested on 4.10.1m + DBW 1.71 + Buttons 10.3 + JetWar 1.32 + EngMod 2.6 RC Fin

Paulus,

Thank you for this very much appreciated update!

Cheers,

OT - Looks like my destroyer off the starboard side of the Oriskany during flight ops (F-4s, F-8s, A-4s) in the South China Sea back in the late 60's.  Plane guard duties off those old tin cans were so much fun.  Not!  Thanks for bringing my old Navy days back.  Retired back in 1982 and sometime it seems just like yesterday.

Thanks so much Paulus, for fixing this - always though it was me! 
Only one I couldnt get to work was the FFR-41MR - but that a fantasy plane anyway.

In SAS Engine Mod v2.7
F8 AI open canopy.

Is there any solution?

Probably not without changing F8 class... All F8 versions or just one particular? Do you have Vega version or original one?
All other work good?

Adding 4.12 compatibility icon as tested by SAS~Bravo...
