FSX Default acft

Postby goodmanp » Thu Jan 12, 2017 6:07 pm

Is there a list for the default 737/747 acft, showing what all the different acft door keys are? Would make using GSX more realistic for me.


Thx

Not sure what you mean by door keys
If you are talking about how to open doors on a aircraft every aircraft has the standard Shift + E which opens the main door. But in order for other doors to open they have to be part of the original aircraft then you can assign key strokes to that door the most common commands used are the Tail Hook and Wing Fold
Not all aircraft have this feature I could be wrong but I am pretty sure that this has to be done at the time of making the aircraft. 8-)

That's exactly what I am asking. How do I open the other doors (other passenger doors, cargo doors down below) on the acft, besides the "main door" opened by "shift E". Not even sure the other doors on default acft open or not.

I'm making a guess here, without looking at the particular aircraft keyboard key press options in the main drop-down Menu....

Shift + E....followed by pressing the keyboard keys 1...2...3...etc to open other doors?

...providing the the aircraft has been designed and programmed to open the particular doors.

(Sometimes this is explained in the "Readme" file by the author, accompanying the Aircraft).

Correct Paul. For the default 737 & 747 check the [exits] section in Aircraft.cfg.
The number_of_exits= value should be 3. If it's 2 then change it to 3.

The aircraft cfg file has to have lines that look like below

[exits]
number_of_exits = 3
exit.0 = 0.20, 49.50, -5.00, 7.5, 0 //open-close rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.1 = 0.10, -35.00, 7.50, -2.5, 1 //open-close rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.2 = 0.05, //open-close rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)


[TailHook] // For opening cargo door.
tailhook_length=1 //(feet)
tailhook_position = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 //(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum
cable_force_adjust=1.0


[folding_wings] // For opening main deck cargo door.
wing_fold_system_type = 4 //0=None
fold_rates = 0.05,0.05 //Percent per second
cable_force_adjust = 1.0
How ever I still think that this has to be part of the original model or it will not work but like I said I could be wrong <<s

As they've said - it has to be built into the aircraft model.

Question - Do you have a limited number of aircraft that you want to do this for?

OK, the default key commands are as follows.

Shift + E = Main Doors
Image3

Shift + E then 2 = Cargo Doors
Image

Shift + E then 3 = Emergency exits
