Ranger SVO Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I have a weird problem. When landing with ILS mode, the plane is on the far left of the run way. I know this used to work right, I think. http://i64.tinypic.com/2uy13qu.jpg http://i63.tinypic.com/24c9mpl.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/qphrav.jpg So whats going on? I'm going to try a different aircraft at this same airport later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toriu Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 As far as I know the ILS approach is not for actual touch down. What I usually do is hit the Z key to disable the autopilot, and also disable the auto speed at about 100 feet.

Ranger SVO Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Blade? Alien? What aircraft is that? Or should I ask what PLANET? http://i65.tinypic.com/qxjb5w.jpg It's a lot of fun, it is the Tesla of Aircraft, battery powered flight Blade But I think I see the issue in the picture, CRS should be 354 not 355. I'll do a test flight tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Not every ils is straight in. Some are at an angle to avoid cities, other runways, and such. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?295889-Glide-slope-problem [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed it's more challenging to disconnect the autopilot and land manually, but the auto system certainly works perfectly if left engaged. Well, it does on my system...

And it has on mine for years, but recently its not working right. I'll do another flight later, I just looked up the ILS approach procedures for KABI and it says the runway heading is 355. My settings are right. Not sure whats going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Does it only do this at this one airport? Could it be that the localizer is off-set from the runway? Have you tried it at another airport to see it does this there as well? Some airports, the localizer is offset to the side of the runway, some by a large amount, some not as much. Not all airports will guide the plane to touchdown for you. You may actually need to handfly it a little ways to guide it the correct touchdown point. Technology is handy, but NOT infallible. To an even greater extent that humans... Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again! Sgt, USMC, 10 years proud service, Inactive reserve now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefu Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I made a .blg update for all northamerican airports back 2 months ago and noticed this issue for one of the many ils i use. I dont really mind, i also disengage autopilot and manually aligne the aircraft to the runway using glideslope and displayed alignement.

CaptainTower Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 What airport is it you are trying an ILS approach on? Could you give me the ICAO code of that airport? I'd like to check that out. It's probably a problem with the airport design. I have seen (and fixed) a number of them. As has been pointed out some Localizers are set up that way to avoid a collision with terrain or man-made objects. The problem with most of the ones I've encountered in MSFS that those reasons don't exist in FS regardless of the Scenery Complexity settings.

Where are you? ICAO code? Rupert Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
