:+1: :rofl:

so try another plane, this one do not open the door. As i can see the developer do not think that simulation means opening and closing the door :wink: People care to how the plane flies, physics and this what the analog caravan is about.

Opening and closing door is not needed, its just a cool mimic. Why da hell someone need to open the door? You already asked this here a few times, so maybe this plane is not for you. Before buying planes make sure they open and close the door as this seems to be essencial for your “simulation”

cheers

Look, as has been stated multiple times in this thread and other places, this plane uses the default models. Therefore it can only do what’s included in that model.

They’re not going to create their own custom model, not for this addon.

There’s no need to bang on about it, or how much you think every addon should include working doors.

Its doors don’t open, you think that’s a deal breaker, fine. Don’t buy it, move on.

These mods are supposed to be study level. So maybe for someone who wants to study whether the doors open according to the POH, this is an essential feature.

lol :joy: or maybe typically the kind of people who are looking for an excuse to say it’s not worth the price saying this add-on is unfinish, could be better , ll don’t buy it etc
but some days after the release (we don’t know how…no matter how) they magically got it :roll_eyes: and better making a mistake once, do it twice

Absurd nonsense

essencial?? really? What the door opening adds to the simulation side?! People have some weird thoughts for a study level plane… Anyway its already explained why this do not open doors…

This should make some developers work only on mimics for some planes, looks like there is a market for it. Arcade Simmers :wink:

Question for the Caravan devs. Are there plans for making the Bendix/King KEA 130A Altimeter in hPa? It is pretty time-consuming to first convert to inches of Mercury and then dial it on an unfamiliar scale. Especially when flying on online networks.

It would be handy, for sure. But in the mean time, I can recommend the myE6B app (iOS) - I recently got it, it’s not very expensive, and it’s super handy!

Off course there are other free quick converters available too, but I found this app and thought I’d mention it.

could you post the name / link for it?

curious about it

Not sure if this is allowed on here but, it’s called “E6B Aviation Calculator” : ‎E6B Aviation Calculator on the App Store

I love opening doors and windows, truly. But at the end of the day if they’re limited in what they can do to the model, I won’t gripe. That said, the freeware C152 overhaul has opening doors and windows, and the Caravan mod by Black Square has opening windows (I think?) so I certainly hope that if it is possible, they do it in the future. But it won’t stop me from buying this addon, for sure. I’d honestly say the windows being able to open is more important to me than the door. I like to keep them open during taxi for maximum immersion, and it also helps me monitor the engine by ear as I would in real life.

Strange though as even the free mod for the TMB ads working doors?

Tbh for this pricetag i think doors and windows are really not a lot to ask, specially since mosh of the plane is already there.
And lets hope they fix the insane climbrate of the stock King Air too.

Even Takeshi’s Castle didn’t get this much stick for doors that didn’t open.

There is a whole discussion a bit further back about why some doors open and some don’t. Short of it is - Asobo didnt model doors on the King Air and others. Asobo did model doors on TBM and some others. This is why some mods can make the doors work, because they were already there just not animated for unknown Asobo reasons.
