[chrispyne0179]

DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO ACTIVATE THE RETRACTABLE STAIRS ON THE BOEING 737 IVE TRIED CTRL E + 2 BUT THAT DIDNT WORK ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE THANKS!

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.

[chrispyne0179]

yeah that just opens the doors anybody else have any tips?

[beefhole]

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.

[chrispyne0179]

No im not refering to the default one ive downloaded one with retractable stairs what will the key assignment be under?

[beefhole]

Hit ALT, then O, C, A

Hopefully you've looked through the Readme file that came with the aircraft.   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.

ANYBODY??????

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
