help with opening exits

Postby adam747 » Sun Apr 18, 2010 7:49 am

I recently found out out that I could open secondary exits such as cargo bays, etc. by pressing Shift+E+2, but all that hppens to me is that the main exit opens, and the radio panel pops up. Am I doing it wrong?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

For exits-press (Shift+E) and then release both keys and press the # key(s) for the exit(s).

You got the radio panel because you were holding the Shift key when pressing 2.

One weir thing that always irks me is that adter opening an exit (or close), I loose my "Zoom" capability. Then, after flying around a bit, *some times* the zoom comes back.  ::)

When my zoom stops working, I just hit the backspace key.
