Windows don't open, access panels
Windows don't open, access panels
There doesn't appear to be a way to slide the cockpit windows open on my B17. How do you access the panels for loading fuel, installing and contacting other crew members, checklists, and etc.?

Hi.
Watch the intro B17 or any A2A aircraft intro video for how to do walk arounds on GA aircraft only , or how to refuel or fix things in the hangar.
Also read the manual for the aircraft.
slideing the window open is controlled by the mouse , grab the window with left click and drag open/close.
shift+3 on the B17 allows you to assign the co-pilot to look after cowl flaps/rpm
All the popups for hangar/walkarounds ga only/map ectra are controlled via shift+1 to 9 dependant on aircraft.
if you have reasigned the controls then these windows will not open so if this happens you need to look in your control settings for switches/buttons the default keys below.
look for on left-------------on right-----keys
panel window1(display/hide)------------shift+1
panel window2(display/hide)------------shift+2
panel window3(display/hide)------------shift+3
panel window4(display/hide)------------shift+4
panel window5(display/hide)------------shift+5
panel window6(display/hide)------------shift+6
panel window7(display/hide)------------shift+7
panel window8(display/hide)------------shift+8
panel window9(display/hide)------------shift+9

Re: Windows don't open, access panels
I decided to redownload the B17 and see if it fixed things. Apparently my first attempt was missing a lot of info. I picked up two more aircraft, the widow shows the angle to pull it open now and it works, the tips of the switches are yellow and the panels work with shift + number. Now I just have to learn how to start and fly the airplane.
