Can't flip on the AT ARM switch

[Guest dianna78sg]

hi everbody...I new here..just started to fly with PMDG 737NG on FS2004 , it's really a lovely aircraft (especially because it came with fully virtual cabin) but encountered some problem...I literally followed tutorial flight by Fred Clausen (flying from KDEN to KLAX on minimum loadout programmed using PMDG loadmanager ) but using 737-700 (without winglet)...all the FMC are programmed and engine is running up...but by the time I want to flip on the AT switch, it flip on for second and then flip off and some button flashed with red light (can't really see what the button said)...I've reset the flight and try again and sure have checked every step of the tutorial but still the AT ARM switch can't be flipped on...can anybody help me on this ? thank you in advance

In the lower middle panel, you should see two switches one on the left and one on the right that say generators, turn them on. You must have been using the APU for electrical

Seeing as by your own admission you are new to flying. I would suggest you take the manuals and read, read, and read again until you understand it. I realize it might not be that exciting, but when it comes down to it, you will enjoy your flying that much more because you understand everything.Hope you get the bird up and flying. Anymore questions just ask.
