So I went in to FS24, went to Options/Controls Selected the Keyboard, switched the “General Controls” to Keyboard 2020 Transversal, Typed “Take” into the search bar, Selected the left bar of “Take Control of Character”, it said it was searching, and I typed Shift (and) C. It accepted it. It asked me to rename the profile (you can’t overwrite the default ones, you have to make your own), I typed in “2020 General profile”, and saved the new profile, and exited the options. I started a flight, and Shift C switched me in and out of the cockpit.
If you followed all these steps and it didn’t work for you, I’d consider reinstalling 2024. It sounds like something is messed up for you. It worked fine for me.
Thank you, thank you and thank you, FlyingsCool5650!
I did what you said and worked like a charm!
You’re the only person that solved my problem!
My fault was to intend to bind the door open with the “open1 open” or “open toggle” etc., instead of “take control of character”!
Now I have the issue solved both in keyboard 2020 and 2024 modes!

Dudes! I want to throw out a fishing line while floating in the ICON.
etc. etc.
I very much dislike the approach of removing things that were there to replace them with other things.
I remember Mr. Neumann saying: (in my own words) we don’t take anything away from the Fs2024, we just add new things.
It seems to me that most of the functions of the '24 were worked on by other programmers who completely reprogrammed the details. Otherwise, things that worked well in the '20 would not be so distorted. Take the raindrops on the windshield, for example.
In '20, after a hard gliding flight in VR, I liked to open the cabin after rolling out and relax while listening to the environmental sounds (and breathing the fresh air. ).
That’s how it should be again!
Well, in fact, adding opening doors is a new feature, something being added that wasn’t there before. While many 3rd party planes had opening doors, none of the base planes did, except kind of the airliners, (and it was secretly coded in the TBM but not implemented by default).
My request is that they change their new feature to act more like the 3rd party planes.
Thank you for giving me opening doors, but, as you noted, you missed the point…
sigh.
Now, granted, you can still do what you want. You just won’t see the open canopy when you get outside… Which is what we want.
The 737 MAX cockpit door currently makes you jump outside, I think it should be changed so it doesn’t jump you outside just as with the ini made A330-would make setting custom cabin views a snap.
Hi, yes, opening the doors looks like a new function at first. The only question is why it didn’t exist in '20.
Let’s take the 2 gliders in '20 as an example. On the 1001 you could open a canopy (on one side) and not on the LS8. However, on the LS8, technical parts under the instrument panel are displayed in very high resolution, which you can only see if you put your head in there, with VR glasses for example. Or you open the canopy, which doesn’t work. With today’s technology, opening doors is a “only have to do” task. Therefore, the doors must be prepared in the STL model and than be animated. The example of the LS8 clearly shows me that this function was omitted for reasons of time, although time had already been invested in it beforehand. Now many new airplanes are made in '24 by partner companies, which I think is very good.
However, the operation then runs in “X-Box mode”, as I like to call it. Please don’t be offended. But for me it is a behavior that is always implemented in games.
The fact that you don’t animate in a complex way is not my problem, it can stay that way. But I call it immersion, opening the canopy or doors independently and getting in and out when ever I want. In other words, real behavior.
Everything that I did in reality when gliding and preparing, I would also like to be able to implement step by step in the simulation.
That’s why I fully support this wish, which you can vote for here.
But I am grateful that this concept already exists here.
PS
As always, my suggestion. Also click the door handle and the door or canopy closes or opens. Click on the floor, etc. and you leave the plane. Click on the interior and you get in. Whatever is the best.
Exactly why I wrote the wish. I Totally agree with you.
I do know what you mean, that they took a function in gaming and ran with it and didn’t look back. But, like you, I think they should have thought more out of the box of convention and looked at the task. It’s a simulator, not a traditional game that must follow traditional conventions per se across the board. (Let’s not go down the game vs. simulator argument here, that’s not what I mean, it’s also a game to me, and I love the concept of the career mode, missions, and everything “game” like). When I fly, I open my door. I don’t jump out immediately and shut the door and vice versa. I want this to emulate/replicate what I do when I fly. I want to be outside my plane and see my door open as I do my walkaround. I want to taxi with my canopy open. I may want to open my canopy before I land. I want to fly my cub with my window and door open.
I don’t mind it defaulting to transition in/out with the door handle, but, give me the option to turn that off please.
And yes, I don’t need to see me in third person climbing in and out of the cockpit. That’ll be nice someday, but, not necessary.
BTW, the development staff is taking very seriously the issue that got introduced with pilots not showing up in the cockpit. So they are listening to us.
