Hi,


I was wondering if you could tell me how I can get my Autopilot to align the plane to the runway accurately? Thanks. I have the B777 Default Panel.



Thanks for your reply!
Thanks!

Having your airplane to align to a certain runway at a certain airport is obtained by using ILS in FS2004. To use ILS, use the map to find the ILS frequency for the runway you're prepared to land on. Then, enter that frequency in your radio stack, in the NAV tuner. Intercept the ILS, and use the APPR or NAV button (depending on where your are). Make sure that the NAV 1 or 2 is turned on in the radio stack and make sure your "NAV or GPS" selector is set at "NAV".

EDIT: Those are just the basics. I'm sure in the other thread you started you'll get more information.

Oops, I forgot you were running FS2002. I'm sure someone else who plays FS2002 can clear this up. Or, you can just try and see if it works, as I'm pretty sure it will.

Check out these videos. There are several videos about ILS and LANDINGS

Go ahead and check out all of the other videos because they are fantastic.

Sorry, I will do that at the weekend. as my Laptop that I play FS on has to be reformatted because of a Windows Validation problem. even though I do have a legal copy of Windows.
