November 27, 20169 yr Hi avsim community again. I have the PMDG 737 NGX and the Qualitywings 757. I would like to know how to preform an ILS for each. What do I press, what should I put in the radios, when will I press vor/loc or app button's, and how do I preform it. I looked on youtube videos and I didn't help me. I would like some help. Thanks!

Hi delta530, Welcome to AVSIM! For the NGX, it would be difficult for anyone to give a point-by-point answer. But ILS approaches are covered very well in Tutorial #1. Have you completed it? I don't own the QW 757, but just looking at its manual, which is available on their web site, ILS approaches are covered as well. Mike
November 27, 20169 yr Delta530, Excellent advice from Mike. Reading the manuals for any payware, from the simplest to the most complex doesn't matter, is a must do. Typically all your questions will be answered within that or those documents. Every time I get a new payware, or freeware with documentation, the first thing I do is print out a hard copy of the manual and put it in a binder so I can refer to it as I fly. The internet and forums are wonderful tools, but they can never replace what is taught in schools...Reading is Fundamental. Seeing posts like this reminds me that if you give a man a fish you feed him for one day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. Being told in the forums how to do it is "giving". Reading for yourself the process is "teaching". Randy Randy Tyndall You never lose the buzz of flying. Every time you take off, it feels a bit naughty, as if you're doing something you shouldn't do...Matt Jones, Boultbee Flight Academy
November 27, 20169 yr You should be flying at a given altitude (you need to look at the charts for that) and press approach mode(make sure that you have ILS freq. set on both NAV1 and NAV2!). Approach mode is, as far as I know, a function which allows an aircraft to fly at a fixed hight and use current hdg until localizer is captured. When its captured, the airplane will start the ILS-app.OBSERVE!It is most important that you look at the given ILS charts for the runway you are landing on!

Just want to add that after you have flown the tutorials, you can certainly come back to this forum or the PMDG NGX forum for specific questions you may still have. However the PMDG support forums require you to sign your full name.' Mike
November 27, 20169 yr Caution, ILS frequencies in FSX do not match the charts sometimes. Double check frequencies on the FSX map before you start your practice.

K thx Does tutorial on is in the load flights section in fsx and does it have voice commands?
November 27, 20169 yr Have a look in the flights section, you will soon see if there's a tutorial there. Don't know if either of those two planes accept voice commands, but obviously you'd have to set up your PC with some kind of microphone and train the software to understand your pronunciation of the commands etc. Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.

Hi, delta530, The two tutorials are in a subfolder of FSX\PMDG\737NGX; I believe the folder is called "Manuals" (not at my FS computer right now). Note that this is the PMDG folder at the top level of FSX, not in FSX\Simobjects\Airplanes. There is no startup/saved flight for Tutorial #1. There is one for tutorial #2, but you want to start with Tutorial #1. The files are pdf files. You need to go through Tutorial #1 very carefully, as this is a complex aircraft. If you have not installed newer navigation data than that which comes with the NGX, you should not have a problem. If you have, post back here or in the PMDG\737NGX forum, and someone will help you out If you don't know what this means, then you probably haven't updated. Let us know how it goes! Mike
