Hi AllGot the brand new boxed version of this wonderful aircraft but keep getting a niggly problem hope someone can help me please.Trying to follow the tutorials available for download by Fred Clausen and Tim Metzhinger and running into problems with the auto throttle it just will not harm at any cost.The lever throws and then bounces back and the middle red light keeps flashing for some reason.When I load the plane in the UK sometimes on cold dark start I hit ctrl e to start engines then try autothrottle arming ready for takeoff and no luck , other times it goes on no trouble in the same scenario.Hope someone can shed some advice into what is stopping it arming so I can fly this plane using the autopilot speed button.RegardsKarl

First thing is use the search function I typed in auto and here is one of the results http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...55041&mode=full that should tell you everything you need to know.

If you turn off your engines and turn on the APU but you don't turn on the APU generator, it won't engage. It has to have at least APU/GRD Power generator on to engage (sorry, its a bit hard to explain).I would suggest taking a look at the Cockpit and Systems Overview manual.Nick B.Continental Airlines 737NG Pilothttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg--AMD Athlon XP 3200+ @ 2.2 Ghz400W Power supply3x 80 mm Case FansSoyo VIA KT600 Dragon PlusnVidia GeForce FX 5200 128 mb2 x 512 PC400100 GB Western DigitalMicrosoft Sidewinder Precision 2
