autopilot, Hirschi is correct. If you are at the correct altitude at the FAF you will be at or slightly below the GS. You then fly into the GS and start your decent. At this point you can lower the gear and set the flaps for landing. If you are using the autopilot you also press the approach button when the diamond reaches the center. Here is a picture that may help. The horizontal bar is just like the diamond on other airplanes. Hope this helps you understand what you are seeing. Regards, Bill

The glide slope should be intercepted from below. That is why the diamond moves down to the center as you approach the glide slope. The diamond shows you where the GS is relative to your airplane. If the diamond is on the bottom it indicates you are too high and above the glide slope. It is very difficult to intercept the glide slope when too high. Bill

Fatback, here is a link to the MAAM-Sim site regarding yoke removal. http://www.maam.org/flightsim/enhance/r4d_enhance.htm#YOKES%20REMOVAL Bill

Stephan and Cheryl, I just downloaded the latest update and used it to tidy up my cfg files. Thank you for the great service. It's very clear to me that you listen to your customers. Well done. Bill

Solryaz, I totally agree! I think OPUS should write a batch file that removes the crap they left in all the aircraft files. Bill
