More info on air venting inside the cockpit ?

I've seen the central channel and the sealed hole for instruments cooling but I don't see any vent directing air flow to the pilot.

How can the pilot avoid boiling in the Australian hot weather ? Only the slide window ?



In the long video on the WGC webpage, the right side of the cockpit above the landing gear handle has two small vents with a circular knob in between. Perhaps a small hidden electric fan controlled by the knob takes in air through one of these two vents and sends it out toward the pilot through the other. Just a guess.
