I’m sure it’s on the todo list for all default aircraft however Asobo probably don’t see it as high priority when there’s still so much else to be done.
It’s on WTs plate 
in AAU1 Beta it’s already possible to open doors on the TBM (which is easy to do from a modeling point of view as the animations and objects were in place since release)
It’s in general likely a feature which was put on hold as release date came closer, just like many other topics 
other aircraft however may require a lot more work (e.g. Longitude and CJ4) as they don’t even have separate door objects. Anyway I’m looking forward to AAU2 and AAU3

Some aircraft have the doors on the external model done, but the internal models haven’t got them done.
Either a change in official direction, or a time-constraint prevented them from happening. I thought they mentioned that it might happen in one of the avionics updates later in the year.
Hi, friends
To the beginning of MSFS 2020 the doorfunktion was o.k. with “door tool”. Why this funktion is no more avaiilable? We want it!!!
With regards Götz Marks
I really don’t know what you are talking about?
You still can open the doors on airliners (which were the only default aircraft available on release with actually opening doors) with tools like toolbar pushback.
All other default aircraft did not feature doors on initial release of the sim.
Yes, You’re right:
But I meant, the doorfunktion was at that time (before 2 years?) possible also at some add on-planes by “door tool” and “push back helper”.
This possibility I miss.
By “door tool” it is now only possible at this default-planes: A-320, A-330, A-321, B-787, B-747. I think, no more.
→ This is the different to before.
I am not at home right now but I have read that the doors of the TBM can be opened, what a surprise for me but this is also available in the king air or the option for the king will not be available
When open doors are addressed, and the interior & exterior models are updated to support this, please take the advantage of this to re-export the models with the “identity bit” set.
This will allow 3PDs to add to / mod the models, without having to edit (have access to) the new models, even the ones that are encrypted, as the model itself is not changed when ADDING attached Modding Developer created “Sub-Models”
Ideally, ALL MS & Asobo aircraft, or those produced for MS/Asobo should be exported with the flag set, to export the “Unique Identities”.
No loss of DRM, but opens up the options to mod and improve the models by creative 3PDs.
The sim supports “Sub-Models”, but to use them , the base model would seem to need to be exported with that :“Unique Identity Bit” set.
It would be indeed great for them to go back and update the models of planes such as the Longitude and others to have opening doors.

When using GSX, there is every 10 seconds a beep, because GSX is urging for door opening. It is not acceptable, that Asobo is offering planes with solid closed doors.
This topic is 2 years old but needs another bump.
Given WT have done their magic on fixing the 787 and 747 systems, its time Asobo did something about the base models and allowed proper opening doors.
Agreed – and no doubt they will add it to the ever growing list of user request, applying an appropriate priority level to it, as one assumes they do to all they work on.
Just remember, they have the “BIG PICTURE”, so their priorities may not exactly align with that of individual community members,

it would be nice if all the doors of the Boeing 787 from Asobo were functional, indeed with tools from third-party developers it becomes very annoying, despite the AAU2 update this functionality is still missing
Thank you.

Please can you enable door 2L for opening so can be used with GSX.
A key binding is needed for doors but also canopies (warbirds).
Perhaps this will be part of 2024 given it’s focus on activities. Along with being able to have open windows and doors without causing a structural failure.

We’ve had 14 Sim Updates and 2 (or is it 3?) Aircraft and Avionics updates. Despite huge advances made by WT around the avionics part…Asobo hasn’t managed to update the actual aircraft model to include additional opening doors.
Realistic control of all doors independent of the jetway request that automatically opens the doors. This should improve compatibility with passenger or cargo addons like self loading cargo.
Let’s not forgot about windows either; they’re open/close animation and the effects it has to cabin noise are just as important as doors opening.
