Thank you so much.

Start off with the default Cessna 172 Trainer first, and learn the routines from there, using the Flight Sim model knee board, and the Aircraft Owners Handbook.

Paul... ;)...!

"Ctrl + J", but you have to be on the mark, and the aircraft exits have to be set up in the airctaft.cfg file. The default 'liners have them set up, as do most addons tubes, but some addon tubes don't.

thank you so much for your answers!
I know how to turn on an airliner, but with the 767 i've downloaded from here something doesn't work.
I want to know if it's my fault....

if you want to try it's the newst in the civil jets list.
(767 delta airlines).

For the fingers, i always use ctrl j, but with this airplane doesn't work.... :(

You've got to get the plane lined EXACTLY up, nose wheel ahead of the T and centered on the line, it takes practice and patience

This is an updated FS2004 aircraft and needs the [Exits] section of the aircraft.cfg file edited to use the FSX jetways.

You can look at either of the default Boeings to see what the [Exits] section requires.

If you like, you can relace the Delta 767's [Exits] section with this one;

[exits]
number_of_exits = 4
exit.0 = 0.4,

If you mean the 767 that uses my upgraded VC model 737 cockpit ,I didn't put any avionics switch in it because according to my advisor and technical assistance Stephane  "Daube" the 737-800 does not have avionics switch in real life
