Absolutey beautiful model! -BTW--how does one open the pilots door? and the luggage trunk/boot in the nose? I see they are open in the screenshots? Shaun?

It's usually <shift>E for the main door. And then a combination of <shift>E and 2, 3, or sometimes 4 if there are a lot of doors. It's tricky, but if you get the timing right it works, just keep trying it okay.

Thanks so much mate! I see no mention of this in the PDA manual?

I try it to open cargo and the back door. But always the GPS or other things pop up but I have no chance to open the other things.

Hello Mark,

Doors are normally Shift+E followed quickly by a number.

If your getting panel pop ups this normally means your pressing Shift+ a number which will bring up panel views.

Just a question concerning the patches. I've seen the third patch for FSX now but nothing for FS9. I'm one of the dinosaurs still using FS9...

There have been some issues with the FDE, pitch stability etc. Have they been solved with the patches? And if so, are there any FDE updates for FS9? Or do I have to install the FSX patches somehow into my FS9?

Cheers - Steve

Same goes for the Arrow: The FSX-bird is already updated, but the FS9 one has quite a few bugs which I mailed to Carenado three months ago. Haven't heard anything of them since.
