Slow door openings and closings now

[Dick101]

I am having terrible time getting all my secondary doors such as cargo doors or some other than the primary door to open.

eg. I need to hit Shift+E+2 or shift+E+3 to open left side cargo and Pass doors on fsx_pa321_Egypt air. sometime I need to hit these keys five or ten times before anything happens. Also the three keys need to be hit in extremely rapid succession. I mean EXTREMELY RAPID succession. Whats going on.

Same thing happening on other airliners that have rear opening doors. Either they wont open at all ,or only every so often, then cant get them to shut.

"Shift+E" simultaneous, then quickly 2, 3, etc after. I had a problem early on with my keyboard repeat rate set too fast...Don

Hello Dick:

I have discovered that doors sometimes have a mind of their own due to an apparent conflict with some addons. For example, when I first bring up my default flight (Default Cessna 172 at any airport, in my case KLWB, home location), select the bird and/or location I want, everything works just fine. But then after cranking up ASE, FSC80, PFE/PF2000, WideClient, moving multiple secondary windows to multiple monitors etc. etc. Strange thing sometimes then happen with various combinations of door actions. Sometimes I cannot close cargo doors but the passenger door closes or opens with that command. Sometimes nothing seems to work door wise. Some do and some don't but with the wrong commands. It becomes a turkey shoot, so I try to accomplish all of my door activities before starting up these addon items.

Good luck:
RTH

Usual cause is your aircraft is parked in a refuelling spot.

NOPE - Never parked in a refueling spot- that suggestion about the repeat adjustment of the keyboard may have had something to do with it, or not, as I WAS fooling around with that,.....FEATURE?
However here was the perfect solution. As it takes quite a bit of finger dexterity to get all three keys running at just the right speed, plus you get those other annoying instrument windows popping up while your trying to open the luggage compartments or let the annoyed passengers out, trying to manipulate all three keys on a keyboard, my solution was that, I simply changed the key from default E to now its X. But you can change this to any key on the board you want. Then I set one of my buttons on my joystick to E also. So now not only do I eliminate those annoying instrument pop ups getting in the way of seeing what is going on , but all I need do is press the joystick button along with the number, 1 or 2 or 3 or four, and all the stuff on the plane opens quite nicely. And every time, thank you.

Now its just two buttons, and no pop ups. And I don't have to press the X on the keyboard either.
