How do you open the doors

[Woodrow 1]

Hi Everyone.  Just bought the 747X after coming from Aerosoft a320X.  A really dumb question and so sorry for asking but how do you open the doors.  I've searched the manuals but can't seem to find it.

Woodrow, All u have to do is press alt and ull see menu bar on top of the screen go to pmdg key mappings and look for doors option as well as cargo options. U can assign key to one particular door.. Enjoy loading n unloading..

A little further help would be lovely. I'm able to set keys to open the doors however even though I save them they only work while the aircraft is active. If I choose another aircraft and fly it, when I come back to the 747 the keys don't work and I have to reset them. Is this normal.

It's probably because the 747 isn't loading properly after using another aircraft. That can happen if you use a complex addon and then load another complex addon. I would suggest loading an FSX default aircraft, then load the 747.

Tht right. Doors will only open when ground power is connected.
