How do I setup the ILS Indicater to show the proper glide scope of the RWY that I want to land on???  

I already know how to setup the nav freq. but it does not seem to work on showing the proper alignment with the RWY......   Thank you

Open up the map display, then click on the airport you'll land on (hopefully  ;D ,jk)
Then in the opening window move to the bottom of the page. There wll be a list where all the runways of that airport are listed. Now look for the runway that you want to land on and note its ILS frquency (if not present, then there is no ILS for that runway). Adjust your NAV1 frequency to ILS freq. of the runway. And it should show up if you are close enough to the airport.

The problem you're having with lining up is not having the right course selected! as postyed above in the airport lisiting in the map besides having the frequencie there it also has the heading of the rnw! ex:  RWY 23    109.90    HDG 304.  
 this is the heading of the rwy and you need to put this heading in your course selector. (normaly the easiest way is to put it in the autopilot course selection thing...where it says course ;D) .  
If you have this two things correct you'll have the glidepath to the rwy alligned.

hope it helps
