Hi,some time ago someone mentioned that the way FS2K2 handles the input of the ILS (-frequences ??) not in the way as it is done in real.Cane somebody please explain how it is done in real or where I can find a former post?...and...Is it true that the A/P of a 767 does not use Rudder and Elevators only Trim and Ailerons?Hope I didn

Hans the real 757/767 has a third VHF NAV radio, this is not supported in fs2002, so the autotuning of the ILS freq. was a compromise.As for the autopilot ,there are autopilot PCU's for rudder, elevator and ailerons. The autopilot will also run stabtrim.

Here's a shot of the third (ILS-only) "Nav" panel...http://members.ozemail.com.au/~b744er/767/...ontrolPanel.jpgPlease note that the autopilot only controls the rudder during Autoland (when below 1500').Cheers.Ian.

Hey,Thanks for the good information. I

As far as I know, Hans, this is correct for both Pegasus and non-Pegasus equipped aircraft (although I can't vouch for the 767-400 as I've never worked on one). Note also that the FMC can only use LOC position updating if an ILS frequency has been manually tuned on the ILS control panel. >> ...,there are autopilot PCU's for rudder, elevator and ailerons. >>The autopilot will also run stabtrim<>Just saw only the moving of the ailerons in the lower EICAS >and was wondering whether this had something to do how it is >managed in real. You (perhaps) only saw the ailerons moving and not the other controls surfaces because:1. The rudder will only move under the influence of the A/P if there is a crosswind during autoland (below 1500'). 2. Stab Trim cuts in quite quickly if the A/P commands elevator movement (Less than a degree of elevator pitch command will activate the trim circuits). Also, perhaps, you may not have seen the elevator move because A/P pitch commands in flight are generally gentle enough for the trimming motors to keep up with the pace of the pitch commands. However, during ground tests, I can command large vertical speeds via the MCP (with relative safety) causing the sticks (and elevators) to move back and forth by large amounts before the trim system has had time to respond and catch up: There is an inbuilt delay of 3 seconds in the autotrim circuits... i.e. after the trim circuits have detected the elevator commands. I believe the delay is there to stop the trim system running continuously if the air is less than smooth. During Land 2 mode, however, the delay is removed for safety (The trimming is almost instantaneous).>>>....the autopilot only controls the rudder during Autoland (when below 1500').< >Do you know how work is done by A/P for example at a >waypoint? Not sure what you mean here... The A/P will activate the ailerons if there is a change in direction at the waypoint. You may see some slight rudder movement, but this will be because of the operation of the Yaw Damper system (which controls "turn co-ordination"... amongst other things).Hope this makes sense :-)Cheers (and best wishes).Ian.
