Hey
I have World Airliners 747&777 n here is the problem
In FMC u have to select altitude for each waypoint, but in Flight Planner it has the same altatude for every waypoint.
P.S maybe i m doing things wrong bout the FMC, but tell me one more thing !!

How do u make aproach to the runway, im mean like do u follow ATC instructions which tells u the heading n when to descend to which altitude n then u press aproach botton (i set up the FMC before the flight) n then when glide slope n localazier is intercepted u hit aproach(u may hit aproach botton before doesnt rili matter) n let Autopilot take over

Hi ye

I thing I know, don't use the auto pilot to follow the ATC instructions :-/, the plane won't turn fast enough and won't drop out the sky to the required altitude fast enough and you'll just end up missing the correct approach and circling the airfield. I suggest you practice with that joystick and get a good feel for the plane, I'm getting pretty good in my 747 now and 9 times out of 10 I'm on the tarmac as planned, it's also a lot more fun knowing you can do it yourself and if you mess up, hey it's only a simulator and you don't really have 380 people on board ready for the slaughter .

Good flying

You can choose your descent rate to go down faster, there's also a switch that you can move in order to change the bank angle so that you can turn faster.  From memory, where the heading hold selection is, you'll see a bank angle switch at the back of the heading selector where you can see different readings (bank angles, auto, then about 5 -25 or something, then maximum or something, can't remember, move the mouse to where you can increase the heading (to the right) then move the mouse until you get the clicking pointer without the + or - , then click and you'll see the bank angle change, keep clicking it to increase the bank angle.  Just a bit of help if you didn't know you could do that.  And as for the approaches, you'll have to practise flying manually or you should read up on the Panel Advanced Manual.  If it's the localizor you don't know how to use, then go to the ground school help or whatever it is in the actual flight sim to learn more about it.  Cause I'm not in the mood to type out a whole document on how to use the instruments.  Sorry...  Don't know if I've answered any questions.
