Team FS KBT L-188 Keyboard Command?

[Bill D]

Anybody know what the keyboard command to lower the forward airstairs on the great new FSX L-188 Lockheed Electra by FS Team KBT is?

"Shift + E" opens the passenger door but doesn't lower the stairs. I've tried all kinds of other "Shift +" combos but nothing seems to work. Query on Flightsim and Avsim boards has yielded no results

This package has had 14,000+ downloads so I'm hoping somebody out there knows the answer!!

Thanks for any help

Bill

shift+E+2 to lower the stairs

Thanks for the reply - unfortunately Shift+E+2 doesn't work - at least not for me. Makes the main exit open and close + brings up the radio stack from the panel but doesn't lower the stairs

I just now talked to one of the beta testers on the FSX KBT L-188 and he said the stairs never worked right during beta and apparently didn't get fixed with the release so I guess it's broke Too bad because KBT stuff is usually error free and this is otherwise a great effort

I could never get the stairs to come down either, hence many of my passengers broke their legs getting off the plane, had to shut down the airline. :ernae:

I had this problem too. Sometimes it would work, and sometimes it wouldn't.
It turns out when you first load the aircraft there is a gauge or embedded XML code constantly sending key commands to adjust the mixture.
If you switch to VC, advance then retard the throttles, it seems to clear it and you can operate the exits & stairs normally.

Sheesh, Bob....just do a wheels up landing! The passengers won't have as far to jump....might get off lightly with sprains or fractures.
