How to turn on the waypoint in fsx missions pro#
Originally posted by bkl5:ok.first off I'm a pro flight instructor with FSX I have used the product from the first release. If I were doing this approach, I'd just make sure I descended to 2000 by Dento, lowered speed to match what FMC says, click LOC, and then as soon as it's captured, click APP and then reduce flaps to 20 for a nice LAND 3. Heard about that +-45 degrees and 3000ft approach in some tutorials before and always tried to follow that rule.Gonna do some more testing at the weekend and report back if something unusual happens again :) Well - just did a short trip to hamburg and everything went fine this time.Įven captured the glideslope when i was flying parallel to the runway in the opposite direction.ĭid the final turn at 3000ft and shortly after captured localizer, and hit appr. Found a site that offers the latest stuff but they also said that AI aircraft wouldnt work properly after installing and some other things that might make fsx crash. Would have been great of they would have updated to the latest version when they did the steamrelease. Havent installed a latest airac but both planes i bought that use an fmc have the latest installed from the date they were released or last upgraded.Īirbus uses 1410 and 757 1401. Yeah i already found some differences between plan-g and fsx. You may also just continue 2000 ft level flight after FESTA and the difference is you'll catch the GS earlier. This chart says: descend to 2000 ft at DENTO, level flight to FESTA, descend to 1500 ft before REDOC and catch the GS at REDOC at 1500 ft. Check the approach charts for the runway you are landing on to see the glideslope intercept altitude as well as near what waypoint it is captured. Originally posted by The Wise Sloth:I don't know how the QW 757 works, but in the PMDG 777, I follow the STAR towards the runway, engage the localizer, and then at around 2000 feet and less than 10 miles away from the runway, the glideslope is usually captured. Fly an intercepting angle (+- 45 degrees of the localizer (LLZ)) and hit APR on your autopilot a few NM before intercept and see if it catches. If you have trouble making the plane fly an approach, try this: Tune the frequency from the FSX map manually in your NAV1 (not 2). Rather do your pre-planning well and compare the frequencies from the plate and FSX before takeoff.

There are some tools avalible to update the FSX database, but I would not recommend that.

I gotta check the map and manually tune the correct frequency. If I let my updated GPS insert the approach freq, obviously it won't catch. FSX has 109.100 stored, and in the real world it has 108.700. To check that, goto World->Map and see if the frequencies match. Second, if you have updated your airplane database from navigraph or similar to the latest AIRAC, the airplane FMC may contain a different frequency for the ILS than what FSX has. It's all basically just about the minima you as a pilot must be aware of. I have used this particular approach before in my 777 and it worked just fine although I think the glideslope for this runway is intercepted at 2000ft in the sim.įirst, the aircraft doesn't really know or care what CAT the approach is in the simulator. Now this is a real world chart so it will not be the same in the simulator, but it should be roughly correct. I'm no expert at reading charts but I can get the general idea of what it's telling me, and this particular chart says, correct me if I'm wrong please, that the glideslope is intercepted at 1500ft at the waypoint REDOC. Check the approach charts for the runway you are landing on to see the glideslope intercept altitude as well as near what waypoint it is captured.įor example, if you take a look at this ( ) chart for an ILS approach for runway 27 at KIAH, it has a helpful visual representation of what altitudes you should be at when you reach certain waypoints. I don't know how the QW 757 works, but in the PMDG 777, I follow the STAR towards the runway, engage the localizer, and then at around 2000 feet and less than 10 miles away from the runway, the glideslope is usually captured.
