How to - Walkaround Mode - Access and Interactions

[richboy2307]

In MSFS 2024, 'Preflight Walkaround' is the first phase of a flight when you start 'cold and dark' from a parking spot / ramp. Your pilot character spawns close to the currently selected aircraft, and it is possible to walk around and interact with various doors, panels and hatches.

Exiting Walkaround
You may exit the pre-flight walkaround at any time by clicking on the door handle or using the user-defined key bind for 'TAKE CONTROL OF CHARACTER' (Default: Shift+C).
