I cannot get APPR to work under any conditions. I can get VOR1 & 2 but I can never a get a Glideslope. Very frustrating. I cannot get APPR to work under any conditions. I can get VOR1 & 2 but I can never a get a Glideslope. Very frustrating.

I have read every thread on this subject and tried every suggestion. The problem is, sometimes I get APPR lock and sometimes I don't following the same procedure each time. I have even done touch and goes and got flight path and glide slope. I have done so by putting the frequency into NAV2. Flying a good intercept course, hit my preset button at which time VOR2 appears in green. Then hit APPR. If it doesn't lock I shut off and restart AP until I get APPR in green at which time I get flight path and glide slope. Now here is the rub. I start and complete another flight and do the same procedure and cannot get APPR to lock. I will get the flight path and the plane will turn onto it accurately. However, the APPR does not show up so I don't get a glide slope no matter how many times I reactivate AP. I even hit the VS button as some have suggested. Nothing. So frustrating when the plane has a mind of it's own and it is a crap shoot if ILS will work. UGH!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the reply. I will work on that and see if it was pilot error. Let me say, it made landing at KTEX in stormy weather a fun ride! I was sweating just trying to get on the ground!

When flying a course with NAV the Hawker will drop several hundred feet when it makes a sharp turn to the next waypoint. After a lapse in time It will then attempt to rapidly climb to the designated altitude. This becomes a real problem when you are turning onto the final leg for approach. I have given up trying to understand why the LOC and ILS will work one time and then not work the next time following the same procedures. I am using P3D v3. Suggestions? Note; this plane could be very good if the ILS worked consistently and it was stable on these turns. I sure wish we could have a solid dependable business plane. Maybe someday.

Thanks for the quick reply and the information. It was very helpful.

I have P3D v3. This is probably a very simple question but one I am curious about. Does ASN completley take over the weather or do you still have to use the sim weather to control cloud density and cloud draw distance. I have set the density to five layers in ASN but when I move the sim slider to the left most of the clouds disappear. So I think I have answered my own question but it seems that I may be doubling up on resources that do the same thing. Secondly, while flying yesterday in severe weather with lots of lightning I heard no thunder. The ASN startup has thunder so I am curious why I never heard thunder in that situation. Thanks,

Thanks, that's what I have been doing but I thought I must be missing a something. I have tried to watch all the tutorials.

Is there a way to arm the spoiler on this plane?

Simply moved the button assignment slider all the way to the right. In my defense, I did a complete system reinstall and then installed P3D. So lots of reinstalling of scenery and planes. Forgot the little things.

I have uninstalled and installed a couple of times. There is only one BGL file in the airport scenery. Nothing else is installing.

I solved the problem. I did a complete system reinstall and moved to P3D v3. It now works perfectly. I was never able to solve the issue in FSX.

No. I had it on FSX and I completely cleaned my computer and did a reinstall of the system. I updated to P3D v3. I then went back into my simmarket account and downloaded the v2and3 edition. Upon installation I selected v3. I had ORBX Southern Cal installed also. I have done everything I can think to do. As I stated, KSNA works fine. Things like this drive me nuts. I can find no reason for it not to work.

Thank you! I'll try it.

I'm certainly no expert at this but I did a peripheral look at P3D files. It is set up much differently than FSX. I could not find a plane config file. Has anyone actually done it?

I re-installed, placed it above ORBX, changed it's position in the library and rebooted several times. Not sure what else I can do. Nothing seems to work. KSNA works perfectly.
