Macchi C.202 (Series VIII) Side Windows

[Dagwoodyt]

Are they functional? The "Window Open/Close" key in controller settings menu does not seem to control them.

No, but arming your flare gun will open the left side window.

Thanks, will try. BTW I cannot get MC.202 manual prop pitch to function in “M” mode setting. Is it just me or a quirk in the user interface? Manual pitch works fine with other aircraft.

Works fine for me.  Make sure boost is off as you cannot go into manual mode or it switches to auto when boost is hit, but will return to manual after boost is turned off.

Thanks. I was confusing "pitch" with "propeller rpm". Works as you described. "M" mode dramatically increases pilot workload. I have gotten left side window to open using VoiceAttack and generally keep it open, nice effect in VR.
