DAVIDSTRAKA Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I searched the site and have not found any FSX aircraft with Auto Land capability. Does anyone know of any? Thanks!

justbecausegtr Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 i just wish the "auto land" it more like when it get to the destinations it would just land it self after we put in the ILS and the heading.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBKHOU Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I can't remember if any of the default jets can autoland or not.. I was thinking they could for the most part, but it's been a while since I flew one.. If they did, it wasn't too realistic as far as the systems though. Most all of the good payware jets can autoland no problem. The 737NGX can be set for fail passive or fail operational depending on the equipment. Also can have roll out guidance if you have the integrated backup and fail op. My pseudo BBJ3 737-900 has all that. But most all the others I fly, IE: SWA, etc use analog backups and are only fail passive. But SWA doesn't do autolands at all, so doesn't really matter.. They land cat III using the HGS. I don't do many autolands.. I land by hand 98.7% of the time.. But I'll do one every once in a while in the BBJ's because it's interesting to watch the plane land itself.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 autoln21.zip This is in the Library and is for FS2004 but works in FSX. I have it installed on my SWA 737-800. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDSTRAKA Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Thanks MBKHOU. I may have to look at investing in a payware. In FS9 there was a Super MD80 that was a perfect freeware. I could set it up on the ILS anywhere, push the Autoland switch and the aircraft would do everything to the touchdown and stop. Like you all of my landings are by hand. I enjoy flying the turbo props and jets mainly. Every once in a while I will do some low and slow to check out the scenery.

il88pp Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 The autoland gauge mainly takes case of stopping on the runway. Maybe also dropping the gear. You still have to set up for a straight in approach and set flaps yourself. It isn't as simple as "get near the airport at any altitude or heading and push the button".

il88pp Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 The autoland gauge takes care of the flare as well. I knew there was one more thing, just remembered what it was. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDSTRAKA Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 I also found this site: https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/15378/fsx-ils-cat-ii-and-iii-autoland-gauges/ The Auto Land is for specific aircraft including some of the default in FSX. The thing is, once you touch down you have to shut off the auto throttle and auto pilot. I installed it on the default Airbus A321.

Rupert Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Curious why you'd auto land? If you don't want to fly, why sim? The UPS guys I know hate the function. Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, It's quite complex. I'm either flirting with a female flight attendant or had too many adult beverages to land. Seriously. I just like testing all options on Flight Sim. :cool: Senior Rookie Bragware: FSX Gold - Acceleration | HP Omen Obelisk Desktop | Intel Core i7 3.2 Ghz |16GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | 1TB HD | 256 GB SSD (Gaming Computer) REX Worldwide Airports HD AS16 + ASCA ORBX Global BASE ORBX Freeware Airports ORBX HD Trees [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjohnston Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Back in the day, FS had a built-in autoland function, but that was removed from FSX. Spent way too much time using these sims...

MBKHOU Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Curious why you'd auto land? If you don't want to fly, why sim? The UPS guys I know hate the function. Doing an autoland is part of flying a tubeliner in many cases. With an accurate plane like the NGX, it's fairly interesting to watch. All the lights winking and blinking, etc.. Even though I don't do a lot of autolands, I still want my planes to accurately model that function, being they are capable of it in the real world. Not sure why the UPS guys would hate the function.. 767's?? A landing is a landing.. I'd rather autoland than have to divert to another airport due to low vis. But I think it's more fun to hand fly a low vis landing using the HGS, than to let the plane fly it using autoland. But some seem to dislike the HGS, and many airlines don't have it. SWA has been using it for a number of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Not sure why the UPS guys would hate the function.. I would bet it is because they are pilots, who became pilots because they love to fly. WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

MBKHOU Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I would bet it is because they are pilots, who became pilots because they love to fly. I'm sure they all love to fly, but would that be a good reason for diverting to another airport? I would hate having my days sked thrown totally out of whack a lot more than doing an autoland if I were a UPS buoy. And to me, autolands are fun too in their own way. A good real world autoland tutorial/video with the 737NG. Not much different than any other approach, except the plane flies the short final and landing. I bet they would still prefer that work over say working at Taco Bell. ;) The video is real good as far as a tutorial on flaps selection, etc, etc.. Shows every step of the approach. I recommend for any new NGX pilot in addition to the usual tutorials, etc.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm02l989PUw&list=PLQR3X8_t24hh69ApDGWvrhIfYKMks2OKm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcbarend Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The freeware Fokker F28 has a full Autoland included. Includes approach, auto speed/gear/flaps settings and flare (all dependent on wind and actual weight). Even does a proper landing at 20-25 knots crosswind.
