Stairs not retracting and front door not closing

[Majick]

Hi,

Congratulations on the release.

I used the EFB to open the front door and deploy the stairs. But the buttons do nothing if I hit them again to stow the stairs and close the door.

The other doors seem to all work fine.

Any ideas?

@majick This happened to me when I tried to raise the stairs with the engines off, and I later found out that retracting the stairs requires the use of yellow hydraulic pressure... and the door won't close until the stairs are retracted. This aircraft is VERY realistic!

@retiredman93231 Ah right nice - I haven't got to the engine on stage yet :) Thank you!

@majick use AC pump on upper left overhead. It will pressurize yellow system and allow you to stow the stairs without engines ;)

@robsonm Thanks very much!

@majick hehe, I had this too. I thought the cabin crew used a bit of muscle so it took me a while to work out. I had assumed it was a bug for a while.
I guess the crew have some hydraulic support to move them.
