Hey, just food for thought: can we get physics on the door from the engine or from motion?
Ex: door is pushed close to shut when the engine is running? Or when turning the door moves?

Ironically, I've seen aircraft owners go through great lengths to find "door stewards" that effectively prop their doors open in all conditions. I've thought about this. Anything is possible, but as you can imagine, I'm about 1,000 "just one more thing" features deep at this point, so I have to prioritize some over others. In the meantime, you will find that the door is unable to stay open past around 60kts. I figured this was a good, simple compromise. Nothing looks sillier than opening a door into the wind at 200kts.
