EDIT: TITLE SHOULD BE "737 gear problem..."HiThese questions require a long explanation, so please bear with me. I opened a saved jet-route flight from KSFO to KLAX (KSFO SNS CEANO ROBIE RZS LAX KLAX) using the default 737 as American Pacific 1123. I passed ROBIE, was handed off to LAX tower and set myself up for an ILS approach rwy 24R. I decided to have some fun and changed the weather theme from "Fogged In" to "Gray and Rainy". After capturing LOC and G/S, I decided tried to extend the gear, but the gear wouldn't go down. The nearer I got to the runway, the more the aircraft pitched and rolled to try to get back on the beam; my gear still couldn't go down. I disconnected AP and tried hand-flying, but my aircraft kept porpoising and eventually belly-flopped onto the rwy. Now to my questions: are the gear and A/P issues inherent bugs in the design? The gear worked fine before. Does it only do this during saved flights? Also, in the 737 do you have to hand-fly the ILS? I flew KSYR-KALB once and the aircraft couldn't find the KALB G/S or LOC; other aircraft acquired it and tracked it fine. Are these just bugs in my system or bugs in FS2004?

I generally dont use saved flights. With addon a/c it can be problematic.Can't explain your gear problem. Sounds like a one off possibly linked to using a saved flight.The behavior on finals after you changed weather probably caused by the a/c trying to adjust trim settings for an abrupt change in wind/weather. Same thing with you trying to fly it manually.... trim was probably out of normal range.I dont fly the default a/c anymore but have never had problem in the past with gear/AP on the default. The AP is not very realistic, but works ok.The default 737 is perfectly capable of flying an ILS approach, but has no autoland so you need to disconnect AP for the actual landing. If you couldnt find the ILs it was probably the radio was not tuned correctly.Peter
