I thought I had seen a listing for an app on here for ~$5 which would remove all covers (pitot, engine, chocks) automatically. 2 questions:

1. could someone direct me to it?

2. Does it work for career mode?

 

Thanks.

2. I don't know. 

Thanks.

just for info, for those with limited resources, if you enable the developper mode you can have that feature already inside the sim (hopefully/probably one day the workaround will be optional)

it's in the menu debug -> aircraft -> covers and chocks

Hi,

Just one question: this setting does disappear when DEV mode is out?

Thank you in advance

 

 

 

to open the screen you need to enable the developper mode, but once it's open, the little black windows stays there until you close it manually even if you disable developper mode and it still works. Obviously the removed covers will remain removed even if you quit developper mode.

Thank you, Bad_T!

You are always so attentive and willing to help!

So any user of MSFS 2024 could do this without paying 6 Euros?

Yes, if willing to enable devmode.

My God, people are actually willing to pay money for such a crummy mod to do something so simple? I am speechless. 

they didn't know !

If I needed this particular thing, I’d pay five bucks for it, why not? I hate having the dev mode toolbar up,  so having it tucked away in the top where I don’t see it until I mouse up there is possibly worth the price of a coffee.  I’d probably hunt around for freeware first tho.

Hello,

I allow myself as a developer to point out a small detail: this application can not work on all available aircraft.
For it to be operational, the developer of your add-on must have used standard element names.

If not, your "walkaround manager" will not work.

IMHO, this is one of those "features" that should be globally configurable, yes, it's kind of a cool thing that adds some amount of realism/immersion, but I understand that it can just get in the way if you aren't in the mood 🙂
