1) Been to FAQ's-tried f1 to kill fuel and Shift-M to switch off master
switch etc but engines will not stop.

2) Also have arranged for flight to begin at gate with engines at idle and
brakes on. Still the 737 insists on spooling up and creeping forward.

Q) What am I doing wrong and is there a nifty wee program that I can
download which switches my engines off ?
Help will be appreciated.

Try pressing Ctrl-Shift-F1 together.

Sorry guys - just found out command is Ctrl-Shift+f1.
Apologies for wasting space and your time.

As for the 737's engines spooling up, make sure the auto-throttle is
disengage(shift-r)

You need to use the 'three fingered salute' (no, not *that* one!):

Ctrl-Shift-F1

That will close the fuel cock and stop your engines, dead, dead, dead!

Watch the throttle quadrant. Find out if the throts are moving forward and
if any device, eg. joystick, has any 'wander' in it from your joy control
panel. If it does; increase null zone or decrease throt sensitivity.

Or... , for the 737, open the throttle quadrant and throw the kill switches
under the throttle handles if you like to do this "manually"...;-))
