As for a video, the same kind is used on the 737-200's



Actually it is an option on even the new 737s.  Sun Country has to use them when they come here for charter flights, since we don't have a jetway.  I was not aware the MDs had them though, good information.

Still looking, but I did find this so far:

Just a guess, but I think that is the pressurization outflow valve. It helps control the pressure of the aircraft by letting excess pressure out...or something like that.

When the aircraft is on the ground it is open all the way:

[edit]During takeoff it's open slightly:

And it's closed when the aircraft is in midair:

what is this for?

Cabin Pressure control valve.

No pics here, but it describes it exactly.

Ok, there isn't a part for that ,I could make it ,but i am not really sure how it works
So,what If I set this part with the suspension of the wheels? ,see ,when the plane is on the ground the weigh will push it Open and when it lift it will close..
you know how this is

That's a great suggestion Christian.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Those are the only times it's open, so it would look accurate.  ;)

Maybe you could set it to open with the landing gear so that it is open on approach as well?

Don't know the first thing about modelling a plane but I'm following it with great interest. Keep it up Alex. Looks wonderful.
