bobmay Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Apologies if this has already been asked in this forum, if so I can't find it. Nowhere can I find if the doors open on the stock aircraft, and if so how it is done. The controls and assignment pages don't mention it, I even bought the Sofly 222 page manual but no mention there. Any help? Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger2k2 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Only the doors of the airliners open at present when they are at a gate. Sent from my SM-T813 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxm149 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I would like to add to stinger2k2's response that you have to request ground service from the tower using the radio while parked at a gate. If you request a jetway, then the main door opens, if you request a baggage delivery or food service then the lower baggage doors open for the delivery, etc. It is entirely different f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnost Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I have tried that and other suggestions, but I have found nothing that works. Unfortunately that keeps me from intercontinental flights - used to do that at x8 or x16 when over the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmay Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Thanks for the reply Stinger and others. Seems odd to me that so much work and detail has been put into this sim but a basic thing like opening a door on a C172 is not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I’m sure we’ll be able to open doors soon, but it won’t be a priority. We used to be able to open them on one or two aircraft so the feature will be back.

duffys_tavern Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Yea really is a problem now with the catering truck going to front of the a/c. Door doesn't open for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcdriscoll01 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 If you push R key then use control + number pad + or - the sim rate will work. It will not show what speed you’re at though. You only have to hit the R key once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillimas Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I believe "sim rate" can be varied using the "R" key along with "+" or "-". It's actually "R" followed by "CTRL" with "+" or "CTRL" with "-" on the numeric keyboard. Wasn't easy to find though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help? Bob. I think this was my very first question about MSFS :) since this is a feature I missed inmediately. I had no idea you can open the airliners' doors through a specific procedure (I do never use them), but it's quite clear you can't on any other stock aircraft. There are already, though, a couple 3rd party add-ons (the Jabiru, the Seminole, maybe more?) which feature animated doors, so not all hope is lost!! BTW, my #2 question was about splash effects and a reasonably realistic movement while landed on water. Stock Icon A5 is awful in that sense, let's hope someone comes out with a decent sea plane soon!!

If you mean in FSX, FS9, etc. I'd say you could open doors on all aircraft using Shift+E, couldn't you? :confused: Windows 10 Home - Intel i7 9700 4.70GHz - 32Gb DDR4 RAM - GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6Gb - Kingston 512Gb SSD - Internet 1Gbps (test 600+ Mbps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
