Cargo ramp door problem

[Falcon61]

This seems to happen with the C-130, C-141, and C-5 and I always push SHIFT E 2 to try and open the ramp door from behind but all I get is the "Main Exit Opening" flash message. I just feel lost on what to do.

Anyone, please help.

Ok, I'm assuming you mean that you get the message but the cargo ramp isn't opening?  You didn't say who's planes you were having a problem with, so I can't know for sure, but have you tried any other commands? It could have more than two doors, which means trying the shift-E-3 or 4 commands, or they could have assigned it to open with the tailhook command or the concord nose command, I've even seen planes that use the speedbrake/spoiler command for this.  Usually something like this would be explained in the readme included with the file.

Yeah, the readme has the command which SHIFT E 2, but I when use the An-124, An-225, C-5, C-141, and C-130, nothing happens.

The C-130 I've just tried uses the Tailhook command to operate the rear cargo ramp. You might need to assign a key for this command from FS Settings.

I have certain planes that no matter what exit I press, it opens the main one.

I don't think the readme of the An-124 and the An-225 mention SHIFT E 2 to open the ramp, but I'll take a look again tonight.

In any case, for those two planes, why don't you simply use the switches in the cockpit ?

It would help to know which specific files we're talking about. The only C-5 & C-141 I can find are the ex-FS9 models by Mike Stone. I've tried both in the FSX Demo & everything works as advertised. (See shots below.)

Only the switches in the cockpit can open the ramp.

To make opening the doors easier, go into Settings\Controls\Keys and Buttons and change the open doors command to E.

I'm not convinced that will help. The E key is already assigned by default to engine selection. It doesn't matter which key command you use for selecting the exit, the important thing is pressing the correct number keys. [glow=yellow,2,300]Keyboard NOT Num Pad[/glow].

For anyone asking for help, it's very useful to know exactly which file(s) you're having problems with. The file description & a link to the page it's posted on saves a lot of messing about.

I did not mean that as a solution, but as a helpful comment.
