KDEN RW's Don't Line Up...for ILS...Using FSX and MCP?

Featured Replies

Hi All....Thanx in AdvanceI have tried to Land at KDEN - RW35L, And when I try to do a ILS Approach...My MCP has NOV 2010 data in it.Using Wilco/737-400 w MCP************1st > A> It does NOT Acquire the G/S.... Or I can't get it to Lock-ON I'm Flying in on this Route Plan ie: NERXY CRUUP KDEN At NERXY I set Alt to or Auto to FL121, At CRUUP Alt set to or Auto to FL1100, Here I lower Landing Gear....set speed to 240kt for up-coming CHOLA Set Flaps to 10 or 15 NAV1 set to 108.5 ( Manually and/or Auto ) ( According to the ILS RWY35L ....the G/S should Lock on at FL1100) B> I have tried to Press the NI Switch.....But it will not let me... ( I sure, that it switches to on Automatically after the G/S Locks on )*******2nd> I thought that it might be an Out Dated FSX - Scenery File, since the Approach to 352 degrees ......PUTS ME ....Out in the Middle ...between 35L & 35R......Gerrrrr A> So I Downloaded the Scenery File from AVSIM.... ( Flight Simulator X - AFCAD Files - ie: kden_ade_rs_fsx.zip by Ray Smith, 2009 ) That did not Help the Runways NOT MATCHing the FSX - Flight into Approach....***********Again Thanx for any Help...HereChris

The G/S intercept point is DYMON @ 7000 ft. If you are going to intercept out at CRUUP, you will need to be @ 11000 before you get to CRUUP, or you will be too high. Your speed seems a bit hot. The max speed for flaps 10 is about 210, but you should be slowing through 180 or so.
NAV1 set to 108.5 ( Manually and/or Auto ) ( According to the ILS RWY35L ....the G/S should Lock on at FL1100) B> I have tried to Press the NI Switch.....But it will not let me...

108.5 is the proper freq for 35L. Are you looking at ILS raw data on the EHSI? The ILS in FSX is properly set up. The true heading is 000.5 and the magnetic heading, as set by the default FSX magdec.bgl file, is 351.7. Regardless, the ILS doesn't "know" about magnetic headings, it is strictly a function of the physical configuration of the antenna. I don't have the Wilco, but generally you need to set up for FMC such that you shift from a mode such as LNAV or HDG into the NAV or APP mode so you can track the ILS localizer. If you are landing beside the runway, at least in the default airport and I would bet 99.99% on Ray's airport, if you are centered on the localizer you will on the extended runway centerline. So I would recommend reviewing your FMC procedures so that you have the FMC and the A/P setup to intercept the localizer and glideslope. I would recheck the altitudes you are setting. I would review the speeds you are using for your flap and gear extensions.NOte attachment where I am at waypoint CRUUP on localizer and glideslope course 352 alitutde 11000. scott s..

Thanx...ScottI reviewed My Settings in FMC....and re-read some things...*******AWE....The Problem was in MY ...NAV Radios.....I DID NOT HAVE them set ...Correctly...ie: Recieve the Morse Code....
