Has anyone else had a problem with the PMDG 737 and arming the autothrottle. Most of the time when I try to arm the Auto-throttle it immediatly turns off, and the A/T First light starts blinking. Am I missing something? I have gotten it to work a couple times, but have no idea how.

Are you sure that you are putting your speed in first, then flicking the A/T switch then pushind HOLD SPD button?

Cheers.

The most common question regarding the 737.

You need to have BOTH engine generators running, you'll find them on the overhead panel. The blue light should be extinguished

OK. That fixed that, but any idea why the autopilot would repeatedly turn itself off when I was lining up my approach?

If you are flying with the FMS check the FMS... Sometimes the Autopilot shuts off because the descent path is unachievable. This may have been because you start desending too late or there was a tailwind. In that case keep checking the FMS. It will tell you that there is drag required.
