Hi All. not sure if this has been asked before, but is there a key control so that the cockpit side windows in both Me 109's can slide open and shut, I cant find nothing that relates.

 

Cheers.   JM.

No, this is not (yet) a feature.

 

Btw: Only the side window in the F4 could be opened. The G2 canopy was originally designed for pressurization and was sealed tight.

Finkeren ..That´s not true,   :acute: The vast majority of the Bf-109G "Gustav" had sliding window on both sides of the canopy.

With the exception of the odd-numbered models (G1, G3, and G5 equipped with pressurized cockpit kit), and the equipped with canopy ERLA type.

All-around-visibility "Erla" canopy instaled in Bf-109 G6 to K, without sliding windows

On the Friedrich, the upper window could be opened too. No more on Gustav.
