just doing the tutorial flight from KDEN, however my A/T switch won't stay up, can anyone tell me why?thanks!

That is an interesting problem. What phase of flight is this in?

taxi phase lol

HiAre you using power off of the engine generators?If not switch over and see if that helps.Bill

well i just started the engine using CTL E, do i have to do something else in the overhead panel to make the A/T stick up?

Goto the Overhead, switch the engine generator switches to on, both of them.... Hopefully this will help ;)JohnP 2.53 GHZ512 RAMWINXPGFORCE 4 128MB Ti4600http://homepage.eircom.net/~eamonnmca/images/logo_ba.JPGwww.bavirtual.co.uk Senior Captain Simflight.com Staff Reviewerhttp://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...tor=OD1&a=a.jpg

bingo! thanks Macs that did the trick!

now i am in the air and the CMD A light doesnt come on after 1000', any ideas?

YeahPress the right button and you get a virtual bannana pellet but if you press the wrong button you get a virtual zzzzzzzz.;)Oh and don`t forget to turn off the apu or you`re going to wind up with a nasty fuel inbalance.Bill

funny that, i did another flight and just entered a random SID and took off and the CMD A light came on then i pressed VNAV and LNAV, and things were good.

Humm, yeah starting to remind me of someone . A posting history helps to convince me....I better get the spray out.[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J.
