With the basic prop planes from FS2002 (Cessnas, and the what-not...) The gauge that includes both the localizer needle and the glide slope needle. I understand how that works and I'm all good. Well, now I'm trying to fly more advanced acft with shall we say, digital looking gauges. The ever-faithful localizer needle is still there, but there is no horizontal bar for the glide slope.

The afct I've been flying are some proprietary acft from AeroTexas VA (B1900, PC-12 and ATR42), but also I was just experimenting afterwards with my frustration so I went to the default acft as well (Learjet and 737). I thought originally it may have been their acft, but the same problem still exists in the defaults, so obviously I'm missing some kind of training.

I know I could just slap the APR button on and ride the ILS in, but I prefer a more hands on approach(pun intended Wink

) Thanks for your help!

you want to know where the horizontal needle is?

well, if you fly lets say a 744, you only have a localizer (with a pink line in the middle to say whether you must go a bit to the left or to the right) but when you enter the ILS beam (look to the green arrow on your gps) a pink arrow will appear on the right side of your HSI. sometimes it appears earlier, sometimes it doesn't appear (if the ILS doesn't support vertical guidance). make sure you are at lets say 2000ft. if you are higher, the thingie won't appear because you can't receive the ILS.

if the pink arrow is in the middle, you are on your glideslope. if it goes up, you must go up to. if it's go south, descent faster...and so on.

hope this helps

The glideslope only appears around 8nm out from the airport if there is one, it's the little pink diamond on the right of the HSI. You have to keep that diamond on the horizontal line.

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.
