What exactly do you mean?
File an IFR flight plan and ATC will give you vectors to the ILS runway in use?

Sorry for not understanding  :)

GCA approaches have never been called in civil aviation ever since I can remember  ;D if that's what you mean. The ILS approaches are vectored by ATC when you file a IFR flight plan.

go to CREATE FLIGHT, and then Choose FLIGHT PLANNER.

Select a departure and an arrival airport, choose Instrumental flight rules (IFR), select high altitude jetways or whatever suits you, it all depends on what aircraft you're flying. Then let FS plot a flightplan, select a flight altitude and the click OK

Then click on FLY!

it's really that easy :)

You also have to contact ATC ground control and get clearance to taxi and take off.  I've forgotten to do that a couple of times.

When you're in the air set your autopilot to NAV and flip that little NAV/GPS switch to GPS.

Generally the ILS is never alone....there is always another beacon (VOR or NDB) on the ground that can help you to establish on the ILS!Use them to intercept the LLZ,and enjoy an easy instrumental approach!! ;)
