The F70 Professional and F100 Professional support the MSFS 2024 walkaround mode with a variety of interactive elements on the interior and exterior of the aircraft.
MSFS 2024 walkaround mode can be entered via one of the following methods:
- Triggering the ‘TAKE CONTROL OF CHARACTER’ control assignment whilst inside the aircraft will toggle walkaround mode. By default, this is assigned to [SHIFT] + [C] on keyboard, [L1] + [O] on PS5 controller, and [LB] + [B] on Xbox controller. Triggering this again will return you inside the aircraft.
- With the Passenger Door (L1) fully open, clicking an area in the open doorway will toggle walkaround mode.
- Starting a flight at a gate (in a cold and dark state) will spawn your character outside of the aircraft in walkaround mode.
The following areas on the exterior feature interactable elements:
- Chocks/Cones – Click on either of the main landing gear wheels to enable/disable chocks and cones.
- GPU – Click on the external power door, located on the starboard side of the aircraft’s nose, to enable/disable the Ground Power Unit. Note: After being disabled, the GPU will not disappear until it is fully shut down.
- Passenger Door (Integral Airstairs): To open the door, click the external door handle to move it to the UNLOCK position and press and hold the DOWN button. To close the door, ensure the external door handle is in the UNLOCK position, then press and hold the UP button, and once the door is fully closed, click the external door handle to move it to the LOCKED position.
- Passenger Door (Sliding Door): Click the door handle to rotate it to the OPEN position, and the door will slide outward and forward. Click one of the door handles again to slide the door back and in, and the handle will return to the CLOSED position.
- Service Door (R1): Click the door handle to rotate it to the OPEN position, and the door will slide outward and forward. Click one of the door handles again to slide the door back and in, and the handle will return to the CLOSED position.
- Large Cargo Doors: Click on the cargo door handle on the right side of the door to open. Click on the black/yellow striped door strut to close.
- Small Cargo Doors: Click on the cargo door handle in the centre of a door to open. Click on the red/white striped door strut to close.
- Landing Gear Doors: Click on either of the landing gear doors to close them after an alternate gear extension.
Note: Walkaround mode is an MSFS 2024 native feature. It is not available in MSFS 2020.
