Opening doors

Postby RoSPA_David » Sat Aug 21, 2004 2:45 am

Hi all, this may be a silly oversight on my part but, when i try and open doors as suggested in many packages with SHIFT + E + 2, i get an instrument panel open in a window regardless of the screen mode.
Do i need to assign a key? and if so what will it be set as default?

Many thanks

David

David, you are suppose to press shift+E then 1 or 2 depending on the door you want to open. DO NOT press all 3 keys together. Not all models have this feature.

Thanks. But as an example of my problems, i downloaded g-max airwolf. The read me says that pressing Shift e opens the doors, and shift +e +2 opens the visor. This clearly is not the case.

Im sure i have a problem with the key assignment.

for exits/doors press and release the Shift+e combo then press the number key(s).

If you hold down the shift while pressing the number, you are sending a command to view/hide the various panel windows.

Cheers,
Dave

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
