Problem with Tom Ruth a340-600

Hi I'm having an issue with the Thomas Ruth 340-600 which I just downloaded from here. I'm trying an ILS approach, and when I'm about to start the final descent the plane starts going wildly up and down, and I invariably crash? am I doing something wrong, or do I need to fix something? Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Juanvito,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
I had to learn how to do an ILS landing (never done it before) before I could check the aircraft to see if it functioned properly ;)


No problems for me.....it seemed to work perfectly.
It flew itself right down with no bucking or bouncing.....

Hmmmm... I still have problems with it. If it itsn't too much bother, could you please post how you landed it, step-by-step?

That's pretty much what I'm doing, but I still have problems  :'(

Just to be clear, I haven't had any such problems with other aircraft.

This is step by step the way I did it and I had no problem :)

On final
Autopilot on
Autothrottle on
Alt. hold

1) Make sure GPS/NAV switch is in NAV pos. and ILS switch is lit.
2)Tune NAV1 radio to ILS freq.
3)Set runway course.
4)About 2000-2500 ft above ground level to intercept glide slope......when the glide
slope is intercepted, Alt. hold will disengage by itself to allow the plane to follow the slope.
5)Check gear, flaps, auto throttle set to final approach speed.
6)Fly straight into ILS feather and push the APR (approach hold) button.
7)Sit back and monitor......take over at decision height and land the plane.

If you're doing this and you still have problems........try redownload/reinstall :-/

Hope this helps
Chuck

Thanks for the help! I tried a different route, and it went alright, so it might be the destination airport that is the problem. Has anyone had issues with the default RKSI (or I might fix it just by disabling turbulence/thermal effects, I dunno)
