I am still having this problem. I fly to the last waypoint and RC vector me to line up with the runway. They give me a altitude of 1900 until established on the Localizer. When i'm about 5 miles out I turn on the APP and freq is on NAV1 and on NAV. I never get pulled down. I'm too high and have to do a go around and finaly do a visual approach and thats is a hard landing. My IAS is about 145 flaps down to 45. Any input will be very helpful.Eddie

can when you are lined up with the runway, can you pause the sim, pull up the map display, which shows your path (downwind, base, intercept, final), and do a screen shot of it, and send it to me?also send the .pln file you are usingalso, can you tell me what the assigned altitudes are for each of the legs (downwind, base, intercept, and final)?finally, as soon as you are lined up, ils being received on nav1, you can engage the APP. why are you waiting until you are 5 miles out? as soon as i'm lined up, i turn on the APP.one other thing, what altitude are you at when you are lined up? how far out are you when you are lined up?jd

Since you posted on the flightsim FS9 forum as well, that's where I carried on my suggestions and others contributed technique suggestions as well. I did not see what airport and runway you are landing on so we could look at the approach plate. You did state that it is a downwind approach. You also stated that you turned on APP while downwind (outbound) which is incorrect (also noted by Bill L.) since you will experience reverse sensing.The outer marker is at or below the GS indication. You can not turn on APP until you are close to inbound intercept. What I do is use heading control (from taking vectors) until the ILS (inbound) indicator starts moving and quickly turn the heading indicator to the inbound course to start the turn. I turn on if necessary VOR/LOC if the GS is way above and as it starts descending turn on APP to capture the GS if everything appears OK.See the other thread regarding GS and LOC false indications where dual localizers on the same frequency are used in FS on each end of the same runway, very common at large airports, and how to fix the error for FS scenery.
