Im not sure were to post this but if it needs to moved please move it.
Im using FS2002 and when i try and do autoland the APR thing never intersecpts the ils, and it just keeps trying to chase the localiser but goes to far, and it wont intercept the glideslope till it intercepts the locoliser, can any one help?

Intercept the localizer on a more parallel course.  30

ok thanks i will keep that in mind, just out of curiosity, whats the diffrence between approach hold and autoland then?

A true autoland would control your airspeed and flare.

If you're really interested there is a gauge that will add a true autoland here.  It works but you already have to be set up for an ILS landing so it's more trouble than it's worth.

Approach hold will smash the landing gear through the wings on landing, Autoland will flare.

On apr hold in 737's I make some of my best and satisfying landings. Just gotta get into good altitude, position and speed. Having fsnavigator helps in positioning the aircraft to the glidescope at the right angle and distance from the airport.

its is alot of trouble getting the auto land that was posted here in the system...directions were NOT  complete..however after getting it in..it works well. the landing isent the best around but the point is getting down in very low visibilty.

Maybe this would help...

For a very smooth apr you have to slow down speed almost the minimum to aproach, in a Cessna try to intercept in the range of 75 to 100 in a jet you have to intercept it below 180, remember that this you have to head the plane in an angle of 30

and you dont have to set heading on the nav 1 it doesnt matter. when using the ils you dont use the
