Thanks chaps. That worked.
I'll have to put more work into FS now that it's upgraded somewhat. At least I'm getting the 737 on the runway at Stansted.
one thing that's still a problem is that I'm not able to drop the N1 below about 47 with the manual throttle, but in auto-throttle, it swings to the mid 30's. It makes the aircraft seem very slippery. The Logi extreme pro ($29) seems quite good, and its software shows full travel.
You will guess that I'm still like someone that is trying to fly an aircraft without doing the technical !!
I once went back to flying after a very long break, having only flown FS for a month prior to retraining. When I got to LBA, the runway and the wind were exactly as I had set the program for most of the time. 30kts accross– it was a fantastic help. The drift angles were virtually spot on. It was a much needed lucky break after being away so long.
