STOP SHOUTING. It's been like a freakin epidemic around here lately. ::)

The only thing you'll get out of ctrl+e is starting the engines.

What you need is SHIFT+e, or shift+e+2.

Well, there's also wingfold and tailhook extend, often used for things like this. I changed my wingfold/tailhook key assignments a while ago, so I don't remember what the default ones were, just check the key assignments.

Hopefully you've looked through the Readme file that came with the aircraft.   ;D If it doesn't tell there then you will have to post where you got the download and who the author is. There's a number of 737 add ons so without specific info nobody here can help you.

tailhook, wingfold, concorde nose or water rudder (last one is shift-w i think)

Bind them all and try it out

Don't listen to that, ctrl+e will only start engines, even if you hit something after it. Please try Ivan and myselfs suggestion.

whew, man people are arguing over the simplest matter...

yes, CTRL + E is engines, and CTRL + E 1,2,3 or 4 are reserved for engines

you are looking for SHIFT + E

SHIFT E is to open the main exit
SHIFT E 2 is to open the cargo bay on most aircraft

also, it makes sense to map SHIFT + T to tailhook, and SHIFT + W for the water rudder. I personally use CTRL + SHIFT + W for wings.

most Posky (proj. opensky) aircraft, as well as a few others have the main door, 2 cargo doors, ad some with an airstair either at the main door or the back of the acft. also, your tailhook command opens another main door, or cargo door.

hope i cleared things up
