I tried your tip of restarting the flight, and it worked for a month or so, but all of the sudden a couple days ago the dust excluders reappeared!

I can't figure out why it is doing it in the first place, let alone why it would return after about a month. :-?
To be honest though. I rarely use most of those animations (sorry Captain Sim). Nice as they are, they usually aren't showing when the aircraft loads and so I just don't bother turning them on, only to have to turn them off later anyway. I go through a pretend boarding/cargo loading and debarking/cargo unloading a lot, but just don't use those animations. I load the aircraft, open the cargo doors and main door, attach the jetway, then get everything organized for the flight. After taxiing to the gate, it's the reverse.
