Operating Aircraft Doors and Moving Parts

Interacting with Aircraft Features

Civilian Aviation aircraft include interactive moving parts like doors, wings, and control levers. These aren't just cosmetic—they're functional components you can manipulate.

Opening and Closing Doors

1. Approach your aircraft and look for door handles or hinges

2. Right-click on the door mechanism to toggle it open or closed

3. Some aircraft have multiple doors (cabin doors, cargo hatches)

4. Doors must be closed before takeoff for proper aerodynamics

Other Moving Parts

Wings and control surfaces may shift during flight animations. Levers inside the cabin control various aircraft systems. Experiment with right-clicking different components to discover their functions. Some parts are purely visual, while others affect performance or access to storage.

Always ensure doors are secured before flying—open doors can affect handling and may prevent proper takeoff. Check your specific aircraft's design, as different models have unique configurations.
