DC-9 question

[reed0427]

For the DC-9-30 series, there are five models included in the package, 01, 02, 04, 05 & 06. I tried each of these and couldn't see any difference between them, nor could I find any document explaining what the differences are. Why isn't there an 03?

Also, do any of these DC-9-30 series have a built-in airstair for the forward door? I tried wing fold command and nothing happened. Is there a command for extending the stairs? The one in the tail works, just thought the model used to have working forward stairs as well.

Hello reed0427 and welcome to HJG!

If you want to know what's the difference between the DC-9 model-folders, look here (in this forum-part you can get more help and information about the DC-8 and DC-9):

"YES" .... they do (and so do our MD80/90 models to) .... but .... some of the assignments must, first, be activated "manually", within FS , before their commands can work. See the following extract ....

Each DC9 comes with a number of operating doors. To open/close these doors use the following keyboard commands ....

For the main cabin door and lower deck cargo doors use:
Passenger Door (Shift+E+1)

For the galley service door use:
Cargo Door (Shift+E+2)

For the forward stairs use:
Concorde Visor Extend/Retract (not assigned by default)

For the rear stairs use:
Tailhook (not assigned by default)

For the main deck cargo door use:
Wingfold (not assigned by default)

"IF" one is new to the HJG DC9 SERIES aircraft .... and in particular .... using the panel versions which we provide "HERE" .... then may I recommend one study, carefully, my "DC9 PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES" posting .... which appears at the top of this forum/SUPPORT page.

These service notes are very comprehensive .... going a long way beyond just FS installation procedures alone .... to cover "most" of everything that must be understood in order for one to be able to use/enjoy these simulations to the maximum
