  • Cockpit environment:
    • GNS 530/430 interaction is now using mouse manipulators - to reduce themouse-click times - you can either click or use the mouse wheel up/down tochange frequencies etc. (user request)

Opening the doors is affecting the flightmodel by adding drag in the doors positions. The doors will automatically getclosed once in the air, and when airborne, the doors may indicate that theyare "unlocked", although they will be seen physically closed (as the air issupposedly pushing the doors and not letting them open wide).
