..ILS FAILURS

[bombi]

Hello there!

I am having a problem with the ILS.
I am not a new pilot, i had a lot of flights and landings.
But, it happens to me a lot that the airplane at  final approach still cannot align himself to the runway.
What is the reason??
I set all the frequencies.
Maybe there is a bug in the game.
There are places in the world that i have a clear landing, but in other places the aircraft cannot align himself to the runway.
I know all the procedures about establishing the localizer and all this stuff.   So, maybre there is other problem.

Please help....

Well if your sure you've set everything right, then it could be a number of things. Like wind, or maybe your coming in to your final approach at a poor angle and has trouble lining up.

Could be something else, there just a few things of the top of my head though.

Hi!

I am not sure what the problem is... but I suggest you align your self as acurate as you can to the runway before turning on the AP.
If you bee more specific, I will be able to help you better...

If there are a severe wind condition, what do i have to do??

Do i have to set something up?

another thing, I don't know how to calculate the turning angle.
Is it important?
the AP is supposed to do the alignment by himself.
doesnt it?

I asked some very similar questions a few days back. Look through http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=fs2002;action=display;num=1053017639;start= that, helped me quite alot with ILS help.

ATC brings me in about 20-30 degrees off the runway heading so I've started doing this on non-ATC assisted landings out of habit.  Every ac jerks a bit left and right before coming to final alignment, often very close to the runway.  It's not a  problem for me because I expect it.

I have seen a fix here to make the autopilot more responsive http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main ... utofix.htm but I can't vouch for it.

Check that your GPS/NAV button is set to NAV. I don't think the APR button will intercept the localizer if it's set to GPS.

[bombi]

I know.
It is already set up.

I don't know what is the problem.
maybe this is connected with the whether and the wind
