Rear exit door and luggage doors remain open

Featured Replies

HelloBefore I say anything may I congratulate you an a fantastic product!I'm using the PMDG 737 edition on winXP 32 bitAfter securing the aircraft at the gate and cycling back to the beginning to commence a second leg everything happens as it should, however, the rear exit door and luggage doors remain open. My question is;Should I close them manually, and if so, which key press combination would achieve this, or should the program do it?Thankyou

Hi,Glad to hear you like it!It's the key command for toggling the doors (shift E) plus 2.However, it's often a tricky one for FS to detect if using your fingers.This is what the code looks like:trigger_key_event(KEY_TOGGLE_AIRCRAFT_EXIT, 0);trigger_key_event(KEY_SELECT_2, 0);On the 2nd leg, the cargo doors should close. Perhaps something intercepted the keypress FS2Crew sent, such as the "2"? Did you have another window open that accepts text input?Best,

I forgot to mention that if you manually hit SHIFT E 2, this may result in your throttles getting split.Watch out for that.

Thanks for the reply I have radar contact networked through widefs as a seperate window and this could be what is intercepting the command. I've tried SHIFT E 2 and got the split throttle response, however, I've downloaded a small gauge that should provide a suitable solution.

Hi Jack,I seem to have also problems with the doors. Could you give me some more info about this gauge, you downloaded?Thanks in advance.Henk

Hi again,I noticed following:After the FO and the PF both has finished their Preflight tasks, then it's a good idea to step FF in the Configuration Panel, until it's Zero. At that time, all doors will be closed automatically.Regards, Henk
