Hi chapsHaving flown the 600-900 models of the 737, of late i can no longer engage the autothrottle swith. It will push down then flicks off again!After posting on another site, i was instructed to make sure the generators are engaged in the overhead. I am a little unsure (still getting my head around it all actually) of what generator switches are being refered too. Si anyway i tried. Nothing.After reading the part of the op-erating manual, i read with worry "if you disconnect the IDG (in the generators panel overhead)it cannot be reset in the sim"! Have i messsed up my 737's completely by accidentally doing this? Is this the cause of my autothrottle woes?Any help from you experienced flyers would be great. I am lost!Thank you allDOug ;(

Oh man, I could write now sooooooooooooo many things, but I won't. I could laugh sooooooooooooooooooooooo hard :-), but I won't.Some other members will know what I mean :-)

Just flip through the first few pages of this forum - this got to be the most popular question here and was covered billions of times ( ;-) ). Or use the search button.Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2

And, just that I don't sound so EVIL :-), here's some OBVIOUS help (if you've just a little searched the manual - it's on the 28th page!!! and Adobe Acrobat Viewer also has a FIND function), you would have found THIS:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/103434.jpg

Thanks guys for the answers.....i did do a search and found the reason why you could have laughed, mocked, derided and basically hammered for asking that question - so thanks for not, appreciated.I dont post here allot manily on the "other" site where i too cant figure why others dont do a search and find the answers there first! Guess i'm just a dumb eh!I found the answer upon following you advice and all is sweet now.Thanks again chapsRegardsDoug
