Cockpit window can be open during flight

I tested the 737 and found out that the window in the cockpit can be opened during CRS , If i remember right on the 757/767 and even the 1011 you can't open the window, I know that this aircraft is based on your 732 which also has the same problem so I'm reporting it here

Real 737 can operate with pilots' windows open.

He said "can be opened during cruise" not "can stay open during cruise"

In real life it would be physically impossible to open a cockpit window with even 1 PSID.

We don't model anything beyond normal ops.
Why would someone need to open a window during cruise?  Shocked

It's rather to "not" simulate it by give it a lock.
I it happens to me in some other add-ons some miscontrol when moving view around send the window wide open, while some other add-ons make it locked in air so no worry about it,

well, I think that it a topic for a conversation, I do understand that in normal operation you should not open the window during a flight, but for me it a standard test to test the quality of the addon, physically it should not be possible to open the window during the flight due to the compressed air inside the airplane pressing the window to the frame, so I'm testing it on each airplane I'm flying, you won't be able to open the window on another company, maddog, QW146, even on the tu-134 also you have make it impossible to open the window on you's 757/767 during the flight, I found a lot of similarities to your 732 and it make me think that a lot of elements based on the 732 where you can open the window during a flight, as a new addon I think that it will take this addon one step forward instead of benign a modification of the 732

If you open the window during cruise you’ll be sucked out like a vacuum cleaner  Undecided

But you'd never be able to move the window. You can unlock it with the trigger but it's not going anywhere. It's a plug type window with all the pressure forces working out on it, no human would ever be able to even move it out of the locked position despite the lock being disengaged.

Yeah well that would be a good thing or you’d only have a first officer flying because your Captain would be sucked to kingdom come seat and all probably.

I always fly with it open. My dog likes to stick his head out.
