Get lined up first of all on your ILS then look at the runway and memorise where the centre line is, then it just comes to you evreytime.

Basically, line in up 'in front' of yourself. As you are 'Captain' and sit on the left, from some way out, you should therefore always line it up approx at the centre of the left half of the panel.

hasn't anyone noticed that in the B737 cockpit there's a little marker just above the NAV/GPS switch??? Undecided

There isnt anything better than that to bring her down perfectly centered... Wink

As a last resort you could go to ALT/VIEWS/OPTIONS/ menu and engage the centerline V (either the small one or the large one). This will give you pitch information as well as enable you to stay on the centerline. This will work with all airplanes.

There is a very simple visual method that you use in real aircraft and can be used in the sim as well.

In the real plane, when it is sitting at the end of the runway, lined up and ready for takeoff, simply note a spot on the glareshield(panel, dash, windshield etc.) that is aligned visually with the runway centerline. Use this point while landing to do the same.

.....so I loaded up the plane and moved to Middle-EEEE..........OIL..that is......

There is no sure point of centerlines since planes can all have different viewpoints.

Pilot for a major US airline certified in the: EMB-120, CRJ, 727, 737, 757, 767, and A-320 and military, T-38, C-130, C-141, and C-5 along with misc. other small airplanes. Any questions, I'm here for you.
