Bomb Bay Doors

[Steven KLein]

Cannot get operating bomb bay doors to work on the 1%B-17E and Allen's B-17G . I'm guessing that working doors were not built into the planes models
and airfiles. Does that seem logical? Neither read me mentions working bomb bay doors. How would you go about getting the doors to work? I would assume that you would have to get a model folder from another of the same plane where the doors work and replace the old one along with another airfile from another of the same plane and replace it. Thanks for any help on this. I have used airED before and done the above on a B-25D that didn't have working bay doors, but I used the bay doors.zip file I found at the SOH site I think.

Did you try the “concorde_nose” key`s (there are two keys to assign), or the spoiler key!

CFS2 is unfortunately very limited in case of animated parts besides the stock animations!

The Key frame animations are: The Canopy, the wing fold, the Concorde nose (in / out), the flaps, the spoiler’s (dive break), Landing gear, and cowling flaps. This animation’s are built into the Model.

I'm sure none of my B-17s have open-able bomb bay doors as that model started out as AI only model.

Thanks. I figured what you said about operating bay doors was right that they have to be built into the aircraft model irregardless of what plane it is. I might try to switch out model and airfiles from planes that have working doors to the planes that don't. I'll see. I do have B-17G planes where the doors work. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
