You should be able to arm the autothrottle if you start your flight with engines on. But, if you're starting from a cold and dark setup, you must make sure you have the generators connected to the APU or Engines. If none are select, you won't be able to engage. Sorry if I've confused you, but it's the best I can explain it. I would suggest opening up the "Cockpit and Systems" and going to page 28 (ground power and bus switching panel). Furthermore, it may be good to download a tutorial (Tim Metzinger's is highly recommended, but its down for a few days)Nick B.Continental Airlines Virtual 737NG Pilothttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg--AMD Athlon XP 3200+ @ 2.2 Ghz (Equal to 2.8 ghz)400W Power supply3x 80 mm Case FansSoyo VIA KT600 Dragon PlusnVidia GeForce FX 5200 128 mb2 x 512 PC400100 GB Western DigitalMicrosoft Sidewinder Precision 2

Hello,check on the O(verhead) Panel, that your YAW_Damper is in the "ON" position.. occasionally this thinggi switches itself to OFF... hence problem with arming A/T :-)Cheers,Norbert - CLX001www.virtualcargolux.org
