As some of you my know, I bought the PMDG 747-400X. Great plane. Here are some after flight screenies from my flight to SBKP.

Yes, the 747 is big!


This one shows the cool lightbloom in FSX.

Go to the PMDG menu in the tool bar that has things like World, View ect. (if using FSX, go to addons, PMDG then...) select keyboard assignments. It should be under doors, or something. Assign it a command that FS does not already use. I use ctrl+tab+1 holding all at once. Same goes for other doors.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Khelm, but to be clear; I do have the cargo doors set up to open / close. But is there another function to show the cargo loading and the airstairs? I'm not at home right now so I can't check for myself.(And yes, I am asking about FSX)


Thanks!!

Yep, there are separate commands for the Nose Loader, the air stairs, the rear loader and separate commands for the Tail stand and each right side loaders.

To get them go to PMDG -> Keyboard Commands -> Cargo, and you should see them in the drop down menu. Remember to have the doors open before you activate the loaders, or they won't appear.

Hope this helps.

Khelm.
