I've done a couple practice approaches to PHNL ILS 08L, with my intercept speed being at the fastest 180kt.  I do find that the aircraft "smart turns" before intercepting the "pink line" which is normal. I'm blue needles at the time (ILS displayed), and when the aircraft recognizes it turned a bit too early (usually due to wind pushing it away from the LOC), it maintains a bit of a track towards the localizer. Within a few miles it has corrected back to on course. 

 

This is pretty much how the real aircraft behaves (yes! I know!). The autopilot is not the greatest at intercepting the final at speeds around 180kts and above. It will do it, but it will need some time to correct. 

 

Regarding your issue- what speed are you flying to intercept final? and does it never correct back on course? I know it's a pain, but would you be able to post a few screen shots when this is happening? A few V-key presses might make me understand what is happening.

Hi Brendan,

try to fly a RNAV Approach with a turn to final and you will see the issue. It is less noticeable in LOC-mode.

Regards, Chris

There are any response of the team? What they don't fixed in 1.008?

I will give it a try- the turn from TEB to the ILS 22L in Newark KEWR might be a good place to try

Thanks. I noticed this problem less with ILS-approaches, however with "pure" RNAV Approaches flown in NAV/VNAV. For example the following GPS Approach into PAJN (I know, no applicable for planes of category C/D in real life) - coming from the IAF Nimle the plane turned way too early on final approach and somewhere got lost on a parallel course south of the original path.

Looking forward to your obeservations!

I've asked the same question,

No official response from crosswind?

I think it's being looked into guys... we have a shopping list of stuff we're working through! No worries.

It's fixed in the new hot fix?

Jose, Why don't your try a test flight with new hot fix and see? I,m at work now but I will try tonight.

Had the same thing happen 5 minutes ago using 1.008 with hotfix.

:(

 

I don't know how this bug isn't fixed yet...

Hi guys,

 

I am out at the moment but will test this when I get back home.

 

So far, the FMS is flying all RNAV correctly.

 

Please follow the thread "Cutting off WP's - STILL" in the MJC forums for latest information.

 

Best regards,

Robin.
