master warning light / FLT CTR in 737-800

Hi
Please help me! I started to use a 737-800 panel recently. In the upper left corner is the master warning light (yellow) with a little display.
Now one warning stays on: FLT CONT and I can't get it off....
What do I forget to switch on or off???? I know it means there's something wrong with the flight controls but what? Btw the gauge is Fab737_caution.gau
Thanks
AJ

Hmm. I don't know how advanced and realistic the panel is, but on the 737NG you typically get that message if you:
1.Shut off the engine hydraulic pumps (A and B).
2. Disengage the yaw damper
3. Shut off the flight control systems (A and B). By doing this you cut off all the hydraulic pressure (isolation valve) from elevators, ailerons, rudder, yaw damper and other important functions

thanks Nexus. I think it is the yaw damper. Didn't know it had to be engaged.
The panel is not that realistic. It lacked a de-ice switch so I could not get rid of the ice warning at first. I think the yaw damper switch is not working either, I'll replace it and try again.
