Hello,another problem is the glideslope tracking at all (not only with PIC). Flying by hand, i notice always the same thing and don't know if it's my problem or a simulator bug.Situation: I'm very good on the glideslope. But when it comes near to the runway threshold, the glideslope needle moves up and I hear: 'Glideslope, pull up'. To prevent this situation I would have to lower the glideslope angle very hard so it seems I would overshoot the runway. A moment later the needle moves down and shows that I'm to high. I thought the needle commands for a constant angle, but there seems to be a 'step'?Matthias Huck

In FS2002 the G/S ends/starts at the projected touch down zone. In real life, the G/S is at the other end of the runway, and thus not nearly as sensitive as FS2002 glideslope in the final parts of the approach.The G/S in FS2002 will go wild in the very final stages unless you are VERY accurately following it. If you are at 100 AFE and seemingly on correct glide, just nevermind about the G/S going off scale.In FS2004 this is different. Better.Tero

Very interesting, thank you.But how do you deal with this ? Do you accept that annoying 'pull up ... pull up" at every landing, or do you disable GPWS ?Matthias

Hi Matthias,in short form:yes!It's not you, it's the simulation.Greets,Roger

You shouldn't be hearing the PULL UP gpws warning !However, the odd "glideslope, glideslope!" is either accepted or silenced via the INHIBIT function on the panel. Beware that in PIC the INHIBIT silences the entire GPWS.Tero

>In real life, the G/S is at the other end of the runway,>and thus not nearly as sensitive as FS2002 glideslope in the>final parts of the approach.In real life it is the LOC antennas that are located past the departure end of the approach runway (i.e., the other end of the runway). The G/S antenna is positioned either left or right of the runway and typically coincides with the 1000' solid white block touchdown markings.If the G/S were positioned at the end of the runway, how could it provide proper azimuth? ;-)-michael

Yup, I knew someone would comment that... :)Regardless, in FS2002 it is too close to the landing runway end, hence the unrealistic sensitivity of the G/S.Tero
