It can be set using the XPlane keyboard settings... You can also set it to a joystick button (as I do)...

Hello, Thank you for the nice words! We plan on having more variants in the future (400/500/Cargo), but we don´t know when this will happen. The doors can not be opened yet, except for the cargo doors (use the "Ground Services" pop-out panel to operate those). We plan on adding the functionality for the passenger/service doors as well, but the mechanism is very complex (plug-type door) and we want to get it right! All the best, Jan

I've forwarded this to Saso for further investigation.

No need for debate on this. As I stated, we will be re-writing the logic and that should solve your issues. However, v1.6.3 is already packed so the changes to the latches/FI Stop will not be available until 1.6.4.

It looks like the fix in the latest libacfutils didn't fully address the issue for everyone, in the meantime while we are working on a fix, there is a workaround to prevent this from happening: In X-Plane 11/Aircraft/X-Aviation/TorqueSim BN-2T Turbine Islander/plugins/is_systems/settings, there is a file settings.cfg. Open that file, and set the line "disable_mtuploader" to "= 1" (it is 0 by default). Loading the aircraft after that should then be without issue.

Do you have visual effects (in your settings tab) set to, at least, "High"? The lights use X-Plane's HDR settings.
