How To Open Doors??

Featured Replies

Hey, I was just wondering how to open up the cargo doors, and get the Stairs to come out???...I know you have to hit Shft+E+2 really quick but i just cant seem to get it...any easier way?...and I would really like for the stairs to come out too...thxs alotCraig

Straight from the PMDG website concerning the stairs:I.2) Map keys to operate the Air Stairs up and down: In order to animate the operation of the Air Stairs, we installed a very complex articulated stair model into the 737NGs that use the stairs in the real world. (You can tell this from reading the information in the User Interface....) If you have an airplane that uses Air Stairs and you would like to operate them, the following are some easy steps to help you! * Within MSFS, access the CONTROLS menu, then the ASSIGNMENTS menu. * Assign a key to EXTEND CONCORDE NOSE and VISOR FULLY (I recommend CTRL+F10) * Assign a key to RETRACT CONCORDE NOSE and VISOR FULLY (I recommend CTRL+F9) Now the air stairs are mapped to your CTRL+F9 and CTRL+F10 keys so that you can operate them within MSFS!It is important to note that not every 737 includes the stair animation, as not all airlines order the stairs from Boeing! The stairs add a significant amount of weight to the basic shell of the airplane, so many airlines choose not to have them installed. You can normally determine if you model has air stairs by reading the User Interface information about the 737 you have chosen!

I get 90 percent success by mapping the keystrokes to a button using FSUIPC (the registered version).

Gents-for your convenience, this has been mapped to PMDG Keyboard Commands in the upcoming version, along with Pushback commands.Best,
