It is recommended to have a read through the manual that came with the package! You're missing out on many features if you aren't using the correct fuel and payload management screens as well as the walkaround.

You will need to visit the maintenance hangar via shift-8.

You may have removed these control mappings from your simulation. It is required to load fuel and payload using the shift-4 menu as the default menus are not valid for the A2A aircraft.

I am not sure about the mappings in P3D as I own FSX.

In FSX
Shift-1 is mapped to Panel Window 1 (Display/Hide)
Shift-2 is mapped to Panel Window 2 (Display/Hide)
etc.

If you moved key mappings you might want to look at this in general. If you used the FSUIPC option for sim pit builders to remove all key mappings you are potentially missing a whole heap of features and key short cuts to core platform features.
