The missed approach point (MAP) is actually at OEV 6.3, 5.1, or 3.8 DME, depending on the aircraft climb capability. This is where the missed approach procedure begins. The missed approach procedure then instructs you to continue on the LOC with a best-angle climb until OEV 1.0 DME, at which point you make the tight left turn back onto the LOC outbound. That is the significance of the the OEV 1.0 DME fix...it does not "exist" in the actual approach, only the missed approach procedure.

Reduces workload... You're not constantly fiddling with the MCP

You can still use VNAV to step down to the LNAV MDA, you just wont have the glideslope and there will be no incentive ie lower mins for doing so

Concerning the approach speed, its correct that while Vref+5 is recommended when landing with autothrottle on, as wind/gust protection is provided, if your landing without A/T or plan to disengage before landing, you need to use the wind additive to find Vapp which IIRC is Vref + 1/2 the headwind component + the gust factor.

Ok yea the procedure must have been updated with different waypoints since the AIRAC cycle used in the tutorial

Volume levels configured as per pg 78 of the NGX Introduction?

This is probably because you selected the LOC/DME EAST procedure, whereas in the tutorial, they fly the SPECIAL LOC/DME EAST. Its very similar, but has specific requirements for aircraft performance and crew training, and has the different DME fixes that you point out. Just enter the restriction yourself using the appropriate LSK-R

QRH pg 25

It's not out yet...but the A320 from FSLabs will be perfect for you. The systems depth the developers are describing on their forums is very impressive

Well if you use the quick disco button on the yoke, by double clicking it you get the minimum 2 sec disconnect warning

Actually try max sensitivity and zero null zone first, I think that's what fixed it for me, if not it was maybe a 10% null zone (I use FSUIPC for controls now)

If you have Realistic Autopilot Engagement enabled, the aircraft has to be in trim with minimum control surface deflection, attitude near the FD command, and elevator trim not moving, for CMD to engage.

Your toe brakes are engaged. Try setting a null zone, and maximize the sensitivity in the FSX options

Sweet! Been waiting for this one
