ENGINE FAILURE AT V1

[Capt. Windh]

hi all.. was about to take off at LFPG when suddenly, right afrer "V1" callout I get "Engine Failure" and both engines and my electrical and hydralic systems are all shut down! I cursed a little and reset the situation and saved just before TO. same thing again! Right after "V1", FAILURE! The third time I managed the throttle manually (without TO/GA) and I got her up.. I got "80", "V1" and "ROTATE" callouts but no "V2"! Well.. I am just clueless.. All procedures and checklists were all done properly. Any ideas?

Johan,This was a problem on the -800/900 until version 1.1, I think...Do you have the latest version installed?Hope it helps,

JohanThere is a known issue - and this sounds very much like it. If you reset a flight in FS9, the autopilot in the 737NG is not properly reset. If you look carefully, you can see that CWS P is annunicated at the point of rotation and the engines spool down in an attempt to maintain the selected speed - leading to a crash.There is an easy work around - pull the disconnect bar momentarily as part of every preflight. This seems to properly reset the autopilot.Hope this helps
