I read somewhere that having the canopy open at the start is intentional..

But..

The problem with that is the AI does not seem to realize it is open, and they fly with it open, at least they do until it rips off.

never had this "bug"... the AI always close his canopy... did you really tried the mod?

Worse yet when you do a QMB the canopy starts out open, even though your in-flight! I imagine the same is true for the FMB missions. This is a really annoying problem, ...

I have a suggestion: when you are in the cockpit, press the button o :wink:
