Hi all,
New to the site. Love FS X (even with year old  low end machine).  Anyway, are ILS freq inaccurate within FS flight planner? or do I need to go back to flight school? I can't seem to pick up glide slopes landing IFR.
                                                                                                                        Thanks for any input

Nope, they aren't inaccurate, it's just the stupid Microsoft ILS function, if you have the PMDG 737(for example) in FS9, you'll see it'll go down the G/S flawlessly, like MS aircraft should do

    Just make sure you enter the g/s from the bottom, works almost* all the time.  *Almost because most recently I tried, it skipped over it, only because I assume I pressed on the altitude button again after it went off several miles from the airport.  Otherwise should be fine  :-X

Check out this tutorial posted by Nav maybe it will help

Thanks all for replies and help.

Your PROBABLY flying right over it......you MUST enter @ whatever altitude is listed at the beginning of the GLIDE SLOPE on the approach plate......I use this site to download my approach plates and so far they have all worked like a charm.......and these are actual approach plates for the airports listed on the site......
