You're welcome. The MD 81-2 is one of, if not the best in the F-Lite range.

Correct except you need to be BELOW the glideslope level before engaging ILS. This applies to all aircraft.

Yes it is the ILS button, as long as you are below the glideslope altitude. The default FSX ATC is not always reliable especially on approaches.

IIRC you need to engage the Approach APP mode.

Hi to all
I have a problem regarding the ILS approach with the great MD 81/82 Jetliner (and his little brother MD87 as well) During an ILS approach the plane don't descent after the glideslope intercept These are the procedures I follow (as the tutorial flight) prior to landing -Tuning the localizer freq and course for the runway i have to land -Descending to the localizer intercept altitude (as ATC instructions) -At the localizer altitude I select the VOR LOC mode in the autopilot: the plane lines up to the runway but don't follow the glideslope and then don't descent What I miss? Thanks |
