Thanx a lot for the honest info However as I'm a big fan of the PC-6 (flew the real one with a friend at Zimex a long time ago and a few times with the austrian armed forces version), the DA-20 is just a stop gap until its arrival.....

Well, if you lean forward to be able to look further back like IRL, this shape error is obvious and has nothing to do with the zoom setting. This bug simply doesn't belong to an otherwise great add-on. BTW, the default viewpoint isn't at the correct position. 1. Too far to the right (as the pilot should sit centered behind the stick) 2. Too far aft, (if you compare the eye position with the external view) In that case of a realistic view point both gaps in the fuselage are highly visible and are really distracting.

Hi Marcel, Thanx for staying with this thread despite all the unneccessary disturbance erratic Simon is causing. Closed and latched the canopy as IRL and I do confirm it's a really serious shape error. Here's another screenshot which shows this problem more pronounced: As many people are using Track IR (and the main reason for my to buy the Katana is the superb almost 360deg view) this is a real showstopper as the shape of the canopy not even remotely follows the fuselage contours. I do hope that this is going to be fixed, however fixed or not, I'm a definite PC-6 customer as th

Again, I didn't touch the canopy latches at all. Still have to re-check if it's not an auto-set up bug because the canopy should be correctly closed and latched already when loading the plane in a taxi and e.g. in flight state. If a intentionally incorrectly latched canopy is a built in 'feature' then it is definitely not a funny one. Not too long ago a friend of mine died in a crash due to the Katanas idiotic latching mechanism.

Well, I didn't touch any canopy latches as I usually start the session on the runway with the 'taxi' option... Have to re-check if this is an auto-setup bug or an ops error as I expected it to be correctly closed and latched when loading the plane with the canopy closed. But thanx for the info

Didn't see this item on Marcels patch list...

There are two highly visible bugs in the canopy shape which need to be corrected. See attached screenshots.
