King Air ils instrument

[twadams]

I have recently moved up from the barron to the king air and I have no idea where the ils instrumentation is.  I can see how the left to right alignment is still used on the atitude indicator but have no idea where the vertical indicator line is.  On the barron I just came in at the atc indicated level along with my gps approach and dropped at 500 fpm until touch down and never had to use the ils.  Not being able to do that on the king air is frustrating me.  Some help with ils on king air would be great.  Thanks .

the left and right is vertical: the Up and down or horizantal is an arrow in the right hand side of the instrument . You wont see this untill you get close to the beam then you should notice the green vertical bar and to the right you will see something like this
       -
       -
       -
       _   <

       -
       -
The < is a green arrow

Cool, thanks I appreciate the info.  Is there any information on the layout of each aircrafts panels within fs4. i.e. learning center etc.  I have looked and have seen nothing.

I am not aware of any info for the panels used by any plane. But you can can take the lessons and that can teach you a lot. The check rides at the end or allmost impossable to pass but you should know if your ready or not. The gauge the king air uses is called a horizantal situation indicator or HSI for short. This gauge is different from the one the cesnna uses there are no needles just bars and arrows

Ya I didnt think anything was available.  I gave up on the check rides when I did the instrument one about 12 times and failed each one  >:(.  Thanks for all the info gary.
