ALPHA F-111 question

Blackbird686

SOH-CM-2025
If anyone is still flying ALPHA's F-111 Aardvark ("Pig") out there, I need to know what to do to get the bomb bay doors to shut. I have tried all the obvious things such as Shift+E+2, and the assigned "C" and "V" commands. Prolly something simple that I have overlooked. Thanx!

Readme.txt says:

ANIMATIONS
fully animated swing wing with leading edge slats, flaps and 'gloves' (flap key)
animated jetpipe nozzles (automatic)
opening cockpit hatches (shift-e)
main dorsal speed brake (/-key)
wing spoilers (normally F (wingfold))
tailhook and tailhook hatch doors (normally T)
refuelling receptor (Concorde visor, C & V - see enclosed jpg on how to set this up)
opening bomb bay (shift-w)
animated Pavetack head on F model (shift-w)

Shift-W is the default assignment for the water rudder key, so if shift-w does not work for you it is time to check to which alternate key combo you re-assigned the water rudder :wiggle:
