Hello, I seem to be haveing trouble with the Approach hold auto piliot on the defualt Boeing aircraft. I enter the ils frequency in to my nav 1 and nav 2 raido's. I then enage the Approach hold button ( with the auto piliot master switch on) The air craft then begins to turn and just climb, it then continues to pass the airport. Any suggestions on solutions for this problem. thanks in advance for the time you will take reviewing this message.On a side note. I installed fs2crew for the add-on 737/600/700. It messed up my panel config file. So if anyone would be kind enough to send me just the panel.cfg file for the PDMG 737/600/700, it would be much appreciated. Thanks againSteven Bentley

Anyone? :)

Some tips:1) Tune ILS to NAV12) Approach the runway with no more than a 30 degree intercept angle3) Intercept the glide slope (GS) from below. Depending on terrain clearance and or ATC vectors, this could be 2000-3000feet4) Turn on the AP and the APR hold.So a sample approach setup would be like this for runway 91) With autopilot on fly heading 060 at 3000ft from 15/20 miles out2) Engage heading hold(060) and altitude hold(3k')3) When ILS becomes active engage the APR hold4) When the AP captures the ILS the heading hold will disengage and the AP turns the plane right to a heading of 090 in line with runway5) When the GS captures, the altitude hold will disengage and the plane will start to descend on the GS. Adjust speed for approach6) Fly the ILS down to say 200 feet, disengage AP and manually flare and land.Hope this helps.Bill

I don't fly the default planes very often, but never the heavies in the game, LOL. Only thing I can say is to make sure you're at the right altitude for approach into the glideslope (below) and don't engage the APPR button until the localizer comes alive. Same holds true for most planes, even the PMDG. In that plane, as with the real thing, you wait until the localizer comes alive (dot moves along bottom), then hit LOC. Then same for G/S. When it comes alive (the dot moves downward), press the APP button.Regarding the panel for the PMDG. Just reinstall the last service update you have and it'll fix the panel file. You may have to reinstall your navdata but that's all. I don't think your paints will be effected.

Thanks everyone for the help, greatly appreciated. :)

I installed the update as you stated. I still get the fs2crew boxes. Any solution? ThanksSteven Bentley
