Hello , What is the Trick to Open the right side Cargo Doors of the B747-8F in FS2024 ? I cant find the Option on the FS EFB and i cant find in Cockpit an B747 own EFB . What i find out too is that the GSX Pro Configuration for the 7478F is not correct . Thanks for Help . Michael

I’m not near the sim right now so I cannot provide screenshots but the control for the nose cargo door is in the CDU. Look on the INDEX page, find SETTINGS, and then it should be in/around there.

Hello , The Nose Cargo Door ist working . But the right sided Cargo Doors are the Problem . Michael

Ah, for those I think you would need some external application that directly controls the sim variables. The sim does not offer any native way to control the doors on most aircraft, unfortunately.

The freighter doors won’t open SU4, but they’ve been fixed in the SU5 Beta.

Hello , Does anybody knows how to open the side Cargo Doors of the Asosbo B747 Frighter Version . Some told me that after SU5 it should be possible . Thanks Michael

Hello , I have already SU5 installed but the Cargo doors wont open ? Any Tipps ? Thanks Michael

Perfect , so much thanks . How to Open the Fwd Passenger Door ?

I can’t find any spot to open it. There is one behind the right jump seat (incorrectly named “left” instead of “right”) but it opens the right cargo door and not the passenger one. I would say this is an issue. This click spot should linked to the fwd passenger door instead and be renamed. The cargo…

I appreciate showing where the buttons are. However, even though I enjoy raising the nose, IRL it is loadmasters who operate the cargo doors, not the flight crew. But I know, that’s part of the fun of not being IRL for some. Happy flying!
