Cant Log in To FSX 737 Product Support

Cathy:  great to have you on this forum - we sure get around.  Your experience as a highly qualified RW pilot will be useful here, too.  I hope you get the login sorted, you will find Steve and his group of mods are helpful.

As to the autopilot I have found this.  First make sure the take-off checklist has been completed. This is a real procedural sim, above all set the trim accurately in the FMC (the trim value comes from the Configurator utility).  The autopilot will only engage after you have set a roll mode (LNAV or Heading), and there is no pressure on the controls ie trimmed hands-off) The Flight Director must be on, of course, and if you set LNAV and VNAV before takeoff, with A/T set ON, you can handfly by following the needles - it is a fun experience and the plane is beautiful to fly.

The main thing of course is that there is no pressure on the yoke or pedals - that's why hunting for the trim after takeoff will prevent the Autopilot engaging.

It is no problem at all, but this is full procedural trainer, and so far the only thing that doesn't work are the dome lights, and I am sure that will be fixed.  As well as putting the HUD on the 800 and 900 series as it is optional in the RW market.

Just go here!

Macca, my problem was a combination of not having the trim set correctly and my Eclipse yoke not centering. The latter cured with the application of virgin olive oil to the shaft, which sounds somewhat obscene! (Australian, of course, one must buy the local product)

I am having a terriable mental picture now LOL 

Cathy: glad the trim helped.  I had quite a bit of bother getting my Saitek yoke to calibrate.  I got all sorts of of advice, but without registering FSUIPC it came right after several repeats of the calibration.  Why or How only the deity knows, but it works great now.

I'm a bit worried about the oil though! Virgin?

My problem with the iFly is that since I bought it, I have done nothing but fly it, and as a result a stable of expensive add-ons sits unused on my sim.  All that Colin Lowe should do now, is paint an Air NZ livery and we can fly in NZ and across the Tasman.  I refuse to fly a Jetstar or Virgin aircraft in NZ.  Aussie invaders!

You could fly QANTAS in lieu of Jetstar or Virgin.
