Many thanks for that, going in the right direction now!

Ok just about got sorted flying an ils approach into Manchester I have now started using PRO ATC which I find great, but it is giving me VDM 23L as part of my landing which I can not understand. Can somebody please tell me what a VDM approach is? I have searched google etc but did not find any tuts etc Any explination would be gratefully recieved.

Many thanks for this explanation Budbud, it is exactly what I was missing. I have been flying egll-egcc Heathrow-Manchester and after about 15 attempts tonights flight is this first time I have had a land3. So just to clarify TA we set altimeter to 1013hpa and TL we set to what ever atis tells us the altimeter is for the landing airport? EGCC was 29.92 so I did not alter it but if atc said it was 29.98 I would adjust the setting in altimeter to 29.98?

Hi scandinavion 13 and many thanks for your reply. I have no problems as far as decending to the airport, it is when I capture the localiser and then the glide slope Fmc tells me no autoland, this is because my altutude is not set correctly. I have pressed B to reset, is there a proper time to reset it? I have followed the tutorial 1 but alot of it has flown me bye! Maybe time to follow it again. Badbud, thanks I think that is the info I am missing! I will study what you have posted and try to get my head around it. Once I have understood and imlimented your post I think I will be landing So thank you for posting that.

Hi guy's I am new to the sim world. I have been using fsx for a little while and what I know about flying in fsx is very limited. I have the pmdg777 and have to say I is just out of this world compared to the stock planes in fsx. I have subscribed to navigraph for the year, currantly on AIRAC cycle 1507 the navigraph manager update both pmdg and fs commander Now i can plan the flight using fs commander get the sid and star sorted and loaded into the pmdg data base, i can see the legs ect are all there. I take off using lnav and vnav, but can not land the plane, it is all to do with me not understanding what is going on with altitude. I have no idea what to do with regards setting up the altimeter, I press "B" in fsx to reset it but that does no good. Can somebody please explain what I am not doing or should be doing with regard taking off from one airport and then resetting to correct altitude for the landing airport? It is the one thing that I have got really stuck at and it is very frustraiting, I seem to be able to fly the 777 but understanding what is going on with altitude has me stumped. Any input into this matter would be very gratefully recieved. This is my first post, I hope I have got my name in the right place!! Many thanks for taking the time to read this. Nick.

Thanks for this, saved me from going mad trying to configure it!!
