key commands

Pat Pattle

Hello peeps,

Is there a key command to open a cargo door (or similar)?


On the Hampden there is animation to raise and lower the DF loop but I've run out of commands to activate it!
In the SDK it mentions the cargo door but I can't find a keystroke for it.

There's the tailhook and wingfolds which I know don't work, are there any others or useful dodges??
 
There is a key that allows to open the gun panel on the F-86,but i dont remember wich one.
 
We load up the Cargo door on the Beech 18 and DC-3 with Shift B (Bomb Bay). Both doors on the DC-3 with Shift C. (Canopy)
:icon29: Cheers! I haven't come across any other key for this.
 
I think this is one of these things that wasn't finished before CFS3 was released. Scrolling through the Control Assignments in-game it isn't mentioned. Bother! :banghead:

...Yeah, what he said --same goes for certain JU-52's: cockpit and bombay...
---what about the 'D' key? (it use to open some IS4G engine compartments... and still works on our Fiat G-50 (?) :mixedsmi:
 
Here are some CFS3 commands that I got from one of the add on sites but I don't recall which one.

Gosh you must have been busy if you've assigned all the likely options to other things already :icon_lol:.

how about that wing fold option on Lewis1777's list (ctrl+shift+W)? That hasn't been assigned yet?

D
 
Thanks for the replies, unfortunately there are too few available commands that actually work. :(
I think the spoiler and dive brakes should work but using the naming from the SDK it didn't.
Also I'd have to be sure that there's no reference to these functions in the FM files as it would have an effect I guess.

Thanks David, I couldn't get that one to work either. For the time being I've assigned the cowl flaps (shift E / ctrl E) to it. I've got the cowl flaps animated as well so it may have to be co-incidence that the navigator takes a reading whenever the pilot needs to cool his engines!
