Level D 767 LOC/APP/Autoland problem, i think...

Hi everyone!

I've tryed to land the Level D 767 at pay and freeware sceneries and i've had problems with the autoland procedures. The 767 is going to left side of the runway chosen.

I'm tuning the ILS frequency and course in the pedestal as described in the tutorials and videos. When i'm about 12 miles to the localizer and about 2500 ft i press the LOC push button. The 767 starts to follow the track but i note that it starts to shake the wings a little bit. After that i press the APP push button and it starts to follow the glide slope but, at that time, it is going to aside (at left side) of the runway chosen to land.

Even reading the manual i'm not able to discover what is going wrong.

I've used the AIRAC from the installer and the AIRAC 1607 too.

Can you help me?

The screens below are from Vancouver Airport default. The airplane is a merged SSP 767 and LVD 767 panel but the problem described above is happening with the merged and no merged 767 version. I'm using the SP3 too.

I'm sure that is missing a small detail to get the perfect autoland, but i don't know what could be.

Best regards.

This is due to the fact that the Level-D uses its own magnetic declanation rather than the MAGDEC file that FS9 uses. There is no way to update this.

 

There are workarounds which involve editing the runway files...have a look on the Level-D forum.

Hi pschlute!

I've updated the magdec file but the result is the same. It is very strange. I'm the only guy with this problem???

Did you read my post ?

 

Hi pschlute!

Yes I've read your post...I'm not the only guy with that problem.

But, I've discovered how to fix it! Maybe it isn't fixing the root reason but it make the things works.

I've found it in some forums that some add on installed could have changed the magnetic declination and this was causing two things: the 767 was always goes to the left of the selected runway, and in the planes with PSS panel, Ifly and PMDG, the route on EHSI was tilted about 14 degrees comparing with the true heading.

I've followed the procedures and now the 767 is going correctly to the track, and the route in the panels of the other aircrafts, matches with the real route.

I've just created a folder inside the Addon Scenery folder, called it Magdec and inside it I've created another folder called scenery. I've put the magdec.bgl file inside the scenery folder (this file is in the path: Flight Simulator 9 \ Scenery \ Base \ scenery) and enable it as usually i do with a scenery. Important!!! The folder created must always be above of the all other sceneries in the order of priority (including AES if it is installed).

Now they are working fine.

Regards.

===========================================

 

As you created a folder Add-on\Megadec\Scenery\megadec.bgl did you remove the other megadec.bgl from Scenery\Base\Scenery?
