Jack Sawyer Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 MSFS Orbx's EGLC, GB North, & EGPH This was a night flight I made last night. It was amazing, the first planned 737 flight at night at all went well until approach. I wanted to do an autoland but like other times it never captured the glideslope so I had landed it. It was still excellent. And dressed out in Speedbird colors. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Nice set Jack. Do you use Little Navmap? I find it very handy for ILS/Autoland approaches as the 'green' feathers show you the ILS route onto the runway & helps with alignment. When I enter the feathers after coming towards the ILS Rwy on AP, VNAV, LNAV & autothrottle, I hit LOC, then APR & then the 2nd AP button. I have had several successful 737-600, 700 & 800 Autoloading's, & several misses. It appears that the approach height when you enter the feathers is quite sensitive & I usually come in on the low side, around 1,800' to 2,000'. I have overshot several times approaching the ILS descent section at 3,000'. TTM Edited September 1, 2022 by TigerTigerM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this sim is different on G/S capture in all planes. I don’t know if it’s more realistic or not. I use SimBrief to create a plane and then use the desktop app and it locates it in PMDG’s flight plan folder so very nicely. As for the plates, I use free online approach plates from AirNav I think it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
