MSFS Flight Training IFR Problem

Featured Replies

I have been trying to complete the training with all A's.  I have succeeded with the basic handling, take-off and landing, vfr navigation, and bush pilot. I then skipped the airliner program and moved on to the IFR I passed the first 5 lessons with B's. When I got to the ILS approach. I hit a brick wall.  I can hold both the localizer and the glide slope on target and land.  No matter what I do, I end up getting a message "You Failed the Activity".   No critique, or mediocre grade.  What am I doing wrong, or is the problem in the program? Can anyone help?

Hitting a brick wall when you come in for a landing is not a good idea. 🤣 🧱

Seriously though, it does the same for me, I can grease the thing in perfectly and I too get a 'failed' message, so I reckon it's got some glitch.

Thanks for your responses.  I hope MS fixes it soon.  BTW: "Brick Wall" is just a figure of speech used to describe stubborn glitches in flight simulator programs.

what you are doing wrong is ILS's instead of RNAV's 🙂

SAR Pilot. Flight Sim'ing since the beginning.

Thanks for your response. The lesson uses the term ILS.  Keep on simming. I've been simming since the days of the Commodore 64.
