EHM-1365 Benjamin:
KK...will have a go....what is the warning horn that sounds everytime I try to put any throttle on?
EHM-0654 Murray:
As long as you aren't starting it from totally cold, it's pretty easy to get the PMDG 737NG to ready to taxi (apart from the FMC, o'course...) The "normal procedures" chapter takes you through it in way more detail than is strictly necessary, but make sure you have them to hand for your first few flights and follow them religeously until you've got the key points memorised. Also, a copy of Fred Clausen's 737NG tutorial is a useful thing to have around [ 737TNG Flight Tutorial; it's on the PMDG website ]. It takes you through an entire flight (in the US, but I can forgive him that) from cold dep to cold dest.
In general, I can now go from cold and offline to taxiing online in under quarter of an hour for "short" flights (EGLL to EHAM, frinstance) where there's not much FMC work.
As for that warning horn, I got it in my first flight in the 738 but haven't had it since. I'll have a play when I get home tonight and see if I can replicate (and solve...)
EHM-1343 Jonathan:
Oh, that is when you take off, if you add throttle with 0/full flaps or parking brake, you hear a warning, just set some flaps and add full throttle

That would explain why I heard it when trying to taxi (and being a little over zealous with the throttle...)

I hope you did not break that 25knt speed limit:]
