Thanks for all your help. I bought this sim to fly, not walk around.

I've posted here several times about this identical problem.  

I have tried everything suggested here and it does not resolve the problem.  Sometimes, on some aircraft, I click on the engine cover and a cockpit door opens.  Most of the time everything works fine, other times nothing will allow me to remove the engine covers.  

But - I can always fix the problem by "end flight" and then restarting the identical flight/aircraft/location and  can then click on the cover to remove it.

As you say - I bought the product to fly not to troubleshoot strange little problems.  

I have been a full time professional computer person (systems, applications, hardware, management) since 1969 and find MSFS 2024 to be one of the least user friendly pieces of software I have used, as far as trouble shooting and setup goes.  

When it works, about 95% of the time, the sim is wonderful and I greatly enjoy it, but the other 5% of the time makes me wonder what I bought for $129.

I agree. I have been using every edition of MSFS and many more since 1982. This sim and the 2020 version for us VA tubeliners have been frustrating. I guess I will go back to using P3D V5.4 to fly my passenger flights for my VA. I just completed a flight from KATL to KMIA with basically no problems except ATC to give me a TOD.

I have never seen engine covers on a commercial airliner  in any airport I have been in, unless it was parked outside a maintenance hangar. Strange.

I agree. The developers are so out of touch with the real world.

Does it leave you on the flight deck with engines running or cold and dark? Thanks for the heads up.

If you activate Developer Mode, then Debug/Aircraft/Chocks and Covers you can remove all covers, There is also a cheap payware program available, can't remember the name.
