Before going to tech support I wondrered if anyone has had this problem. When completeing an ILS approach to Frankfurt everything goes fine, the aircraft captures the glide slope and after switching to Apr the aircraft begins its descent as normal. Around 2500 ft the glide slope annunciator sounds and the aircraft banks to the right. CDU settings were 'norma' Nav 1 set and APR set once glide slope captured.

In that aspect something weird happens to me but nothing serious, i'm not sure if it has even something to do with the addon, because i've seen similar descent bevaviour when using ILS approach system with other aircraft. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but whenever i'm an ILS approach, and glideslope is captured at some point in the descent, the annunciator starts calling out: Glideslope! Glideslope!, i'm not sure if AUTOLAND is possible with the equipment of these 747s, however some questions come to my mind: is the stabilizer trim properly adjusted?  is my 747 ILS approach system too primitive for the ILS signals tuned on the plane's NAV 1? 

What i have settled for and has worked very fine so far is just using the ILS approach system to capture the localizer in order to align the plane with the runway an do a manual descent using visual and Flight Director references.
