Handles to open the cockpit are missing in the JS3.

I don't think some realise that the same handles used to open the canopy normally are those used to jettison the canopy too in the JS3. The stickers on the handles do highlight they're the emergency release handles so it's easy to assume that's all they do.

The condor version shows 1 handle, but in real this one handle is split in two indeed. Could be easily solved with an extra texture.

Think positive, flaps negative.

JS3 has a single handle.

Let me refrase: in condor it only shows the use for jettison of the canopy, while in reality it is used for both opening and the emergency release when looking at the placards.
