[737NG]Two problems after takeoff: no autothrottle and ...

[Guest yunkah]

Hi, I've been practicing the beast with all the patches applied for a couple of days, and so far I've managed to go as far as taking off. :-)But - especially since english isn't my native language and the panel buttons don't show any kind of pop-up help - I'm facing a couple of issues:- Before doing anything, I check that the fuel load is at 100%. Yet, just after takeoff, I get an alert that my fuel level is low and I must press Ctrl+X - which actually gives nothing.- The a/t switch doesn't work.- I can't find the TO/GA button.Thanks for your help.

The TO/GA button is located on the screw on the top left of the autopilot panel. There are a number of tutorials in the file library, the one by Timothy Metzinger is very detaled. If you can't find it drop me a personal message and I'll send it to you. This aircraft is very detailed and requires indepth knowledge. But once you familiarize yourself with it's systems you'll enjoy hours of flying it.Dave FisherCYYZP4 2.8 GB 478P 533 MHZ CPUP4P800S Asus Motherboard768 DDRGeforce Ti 4200/128Maxtor 80 Gig ATA 133 HD x2http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg
