Closing doors on Vanguard?

[Anders Nielsen]

Hello,

I don´t know if I overlooked something in the manual - but how do I close the doors and remove the stairways on the Vanguard before I fire up the engines?

Best Regards,
Anders

Hi Anders

Unfortunately, the Vanguard model (much like the real thing) comes from an age when door operation was linked to other events so there is no manual control. I can't remember exactly which event this is now but I've a hunch it's linked to either engine 1 or 2. I seem to remember taxiing in on only 2 engines once (just for the hell of it) and when I looked outside to admire my handywork.. there were the airstairs!

From what I remember

Starting #1 closes one door and starting #2 closes the other

The model was made for FS.8 and this is one of the carry overs from those prehistoric times

An engine failure in flight can be somwhat embarrasing

I thought that was a vickers design ? "ladies and gentleman we have lost two engines , the parachutes are under your seats and the doors are open with the steps down to aid your escape" lol

Ok back to my cave !!!
