PMDG 747-8 cannot approach in Glideslope. Only Glidepath works.

Featured Replies

Hi everyone!

I´m pretty sure it´s just a tiny little thing i forgot to adjust. After complete Sim Reinstallation to another drive, i´m struggling with my 747 to do fully automated landings. Tried it on different airports, and tried it with the 737 and the 777. With these ones everthing works well, like the 747 did as well before the reinstallation.

When i turn into the final appoach and i engage the Approach-Button i only approaching with Glidepath instead of Slope. And the other to Autopilot buttons do not engage.

I have in Suspect that i missed to adjust an option in the PMDG Equipment-Setup properly.

So, does somebody know which options are have to be setup correctly to autoland again?

Thx guys for your help.

Alex.

The 747-8 has an IAN option same as the 737 and this means if you arm APPR before you have received the GS signal then IAN is armed and you use G/P.  Don't arm the APPR until you see both LOC and GS deviation indicators on the PFD.  The GS will normally appear after the LOC so wait for it.
