Hi All

I have seen that in some of the aircraft addons, they give you new views etc and opening doors.  How can I add new commands to FS2004?????

This has probably been asked a thousand times but it would help.

If you go to Options, controls, assignments you can change any of the keyboard or joystick assignments to whatever you want. A lot of addons set their own assignments through their installed software which may or may not be changed. Have a read of the FS2004 help files  or the addon help files for more details.

Doors are already assigned.

Hold the shift key down and press E (Shift+E). This will toggle the main exit (#1) open and close. If the a/c has additional doors modeled, (shift+E), release, then press 2 or 3 or 4 (top row numbers, not numpad).

Other common key combos used to make things move/open are Water Rudder (shift+w), Tailhook and Wingfold. These last 2 are not assigned by default so you'll have to do that in Options>Control>Assignments. Assigning (shift+T) and (shift+F) works fine.

These special assignments should be explained in the downloads' included readme.txt or other documents.

As for views, some simply replace the view(s) seen using the normal view commands, numpad or POV hat switch. Others require that you have an add-on like Active Camera (payware) or F1View (freeware) to move beyond the limits of the default view commands.

Again, the downloads' documents should explain.
