Sometimes I like to fly older prop planes with the canopy open as they often did in WWII. The problem is that some of the models I fly seem to have unrealistically high drag when the canopy is open. One in particular loses a full 50 KIAS when I open the canopy. Is there a line I can add to the aircraft cfg file or what value in the air file should I adjust to lessen the open canopy drag? Decreasing the parasite drag in the aircraft cfg file will help but that reduces all parasite drag across the board. I don't want to reduce it too much and get into too unrealistic flight characteristics. Is there such a lines as "Canopy_drag_scalar=0.7" that can be added to the .cfg file and if so under what heading?
