I can  only open the main door to all of my planes. In FSX Controls , I see only one option for doors. In FSUIPC 4 , I can't find anything on doors. What's the secrete ?

Check in your aircraft Cfg file, under [Exits] and make sure that Number of exits=the number of door types available for the aircraft.   Then when your aircraft is ready for flying, press Shift E (if that is your combination for the main exit) and then 2 and 3 for the other doors.

I couldn't find anything having to do with doors in the config. files.Is there anything in FSUIPC that I can do ?

[exits]
number_of_exits = 3
exit.0 = 0.4,  36.6, -5.0,  3.0, 0   //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.1 = 0.4, -38.5,  4.5, -3.0, 1   //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.2 = 0.4,  33.5,  3.5, -4.0, 2   //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
 

 

This is from the default 737-800 aircraft.cfg   Doors are called Exits.

Than I say your looking in the wrong cfg or missed it since its down the bottom of the page  under the title  "exits"

My search goes to the FSX config. © Drive, users, Name, AppData....           Once inside Microsoft Games, I see Sim Objects and open that. So far I haven't seen anything with exits. Did I go to the right place ?

no  go to your fsx installation  in there select simobjects/airplanes/  than select  which aircraft you want  to check than select aircraft cfg

I found the right place. Here is what I found for the Virtavia C-17 Globmaster.   [exits]
number_of_exits=4
exit_rate.0=0.2
exit_rate.1=0.15
exit_rate.2=0.2
exit_rate.3=0.15

 Like all my other planes, I can only open the main door.

You have  to be quick in pressing  the 1 or 2 or 3  key after pressing  the e  key depending on what door you want  to open.  Took me  awhile to get  the right combo  since it kept on opening the main door   once you get  the hang of it you get it right the first time

It is a peculiarity of FSX. There is no dedicated commands for opening individual doors.

 

There is the TOGGLE_AIRCRAFT_EXIT command (pardon me for using the event ID) which appears as "Doors select (open/close)" in the FSX controls.

 

This will open/close the main door.

 

For other doors you must immediately follow the TOGGLE_AIRCRAFT_EXIT with a KEY_SELECT_1 command ("Select Item 1" to "Select Item 4"  in the FSX controls).

 

As Peter says, in practice this means pressing the "e" key and then pressing the 1,2,3 or 4 key depending on which door you want to open. Pressing "e" then "1" is the same as pressing just "e".

 

If FSUIPC can assign multiple commands to a single key then you could assign TOGGLE_AIRCRAFT_EXIT and KEY_SELECT_2 or KEY_SELECT_3 or KEY_SELECT_4 to any key you like for one key door opening.

Is there a chance this aircraft has a pop-up panel in the cockpit with door open/close

 

switches on it?  Most of the POSKY freeware models have what's called

 

a "POSKY Panel" that's brought up to open doors and call for ground vehicles.  Try

 

Hitting Shift+ each number key, one at a time to see if this feature is there.
