December 18, 201114 yr Windows 7 64bitMicrosoft Flight Simulator 2004PMDG 737 600/700 800/900 (CD-ROM)I am using PMDG737-800.When an airplane goes into a landing attitude, PAPI light shines certainly all white.Also at the time of low approach, PAPI light shines in white.What is a cause ?
December 18, 201114 yr Sometimes the visual slope is different from the electronic slope... you can look at the AFCAD file with ADE and check that out. Also, some airframes are long or big enough such that the pilot is visually above the ILS glide slope all the way to flare and there are three light vasi systems out there to address this.
