Ok finally broke down and bought the pmdg 737 Ok I now I'm behind. Grin

My question is how do you use the autothrottle I click it and it doesnt stay on I no I'm missing something electrical, I havent had time to read the manual (is there a simplified checklist) I dont have much ink.

1.Arm the auto-throttle
2.after lift-off click,CMD A
3.At which time the speed light should come on!
4.The all elusive go-around button!...The screw!
N1 for speed is set in the FMC...
LVL CHG...over rides evrything..setup in the FMC it will push N1 to it's max limit for faster climbs.
I think that's what you were asking?..Hope it helps.

Check your engine generators.
What you describe is just what happends when you try to engage the autothrottle when the generators are offline.

I wonder if the 738 NG upgrade has a real toga button instead of that highly un-realistic and stupid hidden panel screw button???

Would be almost impossible to model the real toga buttons since the thrust levers are seen from "above"
The TOGA buttons are located underneath each thrustlever handle so they arent visible from the view PMDG has modelled it.

I have the TOGA mapped to my throttle quadrant.

I wonder why PMDG didn't go with invisible hot areas like flight1 is famous for? They could have put the toga button in the right spot then. I wonder if it can be mapped to a button on my throttle control. I don't recall seeing a selection in the FS control configs for a toga switch. Personally, I think flight1 hit the perfect 2D panel navigation set-up in the Meridian. I just love how you can pan around that panel. It almost reminds me of how the panels were done in Fly 2 which I liked quite well if only it wouldn't have been so darn buggy.
