[GAME PLAY] Opening Exits

Jan can any of the doors be opened on the Airliners? If so how do you do it?

Also does the Me109E canopy hinge open? I've tried to figure out how to do it but come to the conclusion it cant be done. If it hasn't been animated that wouldn't be a big thing to do would it? provided the model maker made it a separate part, which I imagine he would have.

Hi Matt,

Yes, on several aircraft you can open doors and windows. On the A320 you can just look at the ECAM door page and click the doors that you want to open. On the 737 for example there are overhead annunciators for the doors, you can also click them to open the doors. On most aircraft that have animated doors you can just click the door handle to open them.

Very cool

Figured out A320, ERJ and 737

Tried the Q400, 777, 747 and 787 without success. Do any of those have working exits? If so can you point me in the right direction. I could often get a display of the exits on an MFD but it didn't have mouse clicking as the ERJ and A320

Please keep to topic. If you want to highlight the shortcomings of AF4 you could always start another thread to do that

. I understand that in the big scheme of things whether or not the doors open is not a big deal, but it takes a lot more work for the model creator to make this possible and then animate it... It seems valid to want to know how to do it and that is what this thread was intended for. It doesn't appear to have been well documented elsewhere.
