On page 49 it saysArm the AUTOTHROTTLE by clicking the switch on theMCP up into the ARM position. You’ll see a green lightappear confirming that it’s on. The PFD flight modeannunciator (FMA) also shows ARM. (A green box appearsaround the mode for a few seconds to indicate the change)I've gone through this with a fine toothcomb and cant work out why the FMA doesnt show ARM.Any ideas please?thanks

Both Flight Directors on?Also, have a look at this sticky: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/361815-pmdg-forum-rules-please-read-before-posting/ Especially number 1. (Just FYI, not trying to police the forum. Must add that disclaimer..)
